I LOVE the video Octavie!!!

I loved the excerpt from David where he was talking about his short story based on his experience filming The Island of Dr.Moreau - "And my agent said, 'David you have a very good imagination...' " *David makes a long pause* I was cracking up!!!

It was funny hearing you all giggling in the background :lol: It really sounded like everyone had a fantastic time and I'm so happy for you!!!

*hug*

Thank you so much again, Octavie!!!

:D

Blog Critics posted a fantastic new review on The Late Hector Kipling with several praises to David! I've posted an excerpt from the review below:

If you like your comedy black, your satire pointed, and have a keen sense of the absurd than David Thewlis' “The Late Hector Kipling” will be your cup of tea. Biting, sharp, and wickedly funny, it exposes and explodes the conceits and pretensions of modern art with an intelligence and skill that is a pleasure to read.

Lupinegirl - I reserved my copy at Barnes and Noble last week! I am so excited to FINALLY pick it up on November 6th! I'm going insane without David's novel in my hands, I really wanted to order it from the UK but the mailing office at my University always loses the students packages (including mine and some of my school loans - eek!) I didn't want to risk them losing my copy David's book.

*is counting down the days* :D !
