Hi David Gaffney!
Last month I ordered a book off Amazon Marketplace. It had scored five stars in its customer reviews, and I could purchase it for a penny (plus p&p) and so, in this instance, I had thrown caution to the wind.
When the book came through the post it carried a postcard, from the author, tucked away in its insides. It was addressed to me.
Since its arrival, I have read and reread this unsolicited communication. It doesn’t take long. The exclamation mark after my name is surprising, but I am particularly disconcerted by the kiss after his. I haven’t yet had time to read his book.
