I just came from Anvil Publisihing and they informed me that my three book set will be out by 1st week of December and it will be P890, less 20% if you are a Laking National Bookstore card holder.

Meanwhile, allow me to bask in some fleeting glory and share some feedback from readers of Writing On Water:

---"Just checking if your two other books are in National Bookstore. Am enjoying this one. Makes me think about my own attitudes towards life and human relationships"--texted by Marjorie Villarama, New Zealand,

---"Thanks for sharing about your mother-in-law...diba siya yung pinuntahan niyo sa States? I've ALWAYS admired the way you looked at death...for that, thanks. Since PG, my brother, died only months ago, I could relate....really relate.

the foreword: Ganda...and tama siya!...

Your words dance like merfolk...sad, but accepting...collaborating and corroborating with life's breath and tears. The ripple turning into a tidal wave...I like the way you described life...and how connected everything and everyone is...Naimagine ko pa ikaw surfing talaga...nakita ko how you were naka-hang ten, though metaphorarically speaking lang, parang nakita ko pa yun.

Yeah, I guess biographies are like that. (I liked it when you said "But even such timelessness is fleeting)--Lara Veronica Garcia, Manila.

--"I have been waiting for this 3rd book... I have begun reading it and it's mind-blowing. Sometimes I have to re-read the page a couple of times but I totaly " get it" . It's like somevbody putting very eloquently what are just random, disorganized ideas floating in my own head constantly, dying to be understood. " --Michele Gemperle, Manila.

--"Love your book. I have been reading it nightly since that day I got it. I like your prose and the depth of your emotions -- beautiful work of art! Every time I read it, I flow. Thanks for sharing this gift. I hope that there are more people who get inspired by your writing."--Imee Alcantara, Manila.

Feel free to send comments. I will print them (but may edit for brevity purposes).
