Welcome to my hometown. Hope you win!! Loved the book as did all the dog owners in my family. I'm a cat lady so maybe you''ll write about cats some day!!!

Can't make the Reubens this year, but look forward to seeing you when I'm in NY later in the years. Well-deserved nomination, good luck.

Happy news, Jason! Congrats 👏👏 I’ve been following your work for just a couple of months but it’s clear you infuse talent, passion, and good humour into everything you do. Keeping everything crossed that you win 🤞 And I’ll use the announcement that you’ve won as an excuse to raise a glass here across the pond 🥂

When are the results announced? Please keep this in mind: Morris will love you whether you win or not. Also, being nominated counts for something. Doesn’t it? On a different subject, I bought some new Blackwing pencils that are designed like 4 birds. They are really pretty.

Love to hear that! I want to see pictures— I might order some myself.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, Morris’ love means more than any award.

I emailed the info from the Blackwing website to the email address I used when I bought books from you.

I thought awards were the be-all/end-all, until I won a National Magazine Award for a story I wrote for Men’s Health. After the backslapping was over, we had to move on to the next issue. And there’s always a next issue. What have you done for us LATELY?

Hi Morris! And Jason, How about a sketch of your knees up to your ears in seat 17F. next time, instead of pencils, request a first class ticket. Happy trails!

Tried to write you a real letter at PO Box 292, NYC 10009, but the post office returned it saying “closed, Vacant Return to sender Unable to Forward.” Do you have a new USPO box or have you given up on the postal service? Still a fan!
