a request

I just got an email from Pamela Osti and apparently she is getting inundated with letters and emails and requests that have nothing to do with Porcupine.  For those of you who have been trying to write to me, via her, you need to know that although she sent one batch of stuff over to me, she won’t be forwarding any more. 

It’s not that she’s being mean or anything like that.  I have met her face to face and spent several days in her company when I was reading in Toronto.  You could not find a nicer person.  She won’t be forwarding any letters or requests, media or otherwise that don’t have to do with Porcupine because she just doesn’t have the time.  Between Pamela and Melissa they handle ALL of Tundra’s books and authors.  Take a look at their website.  Every Spring and Fall a new load of books come out.  All of them needing attention and care and reviews and interviews needing to be set up.

Tundra is a wonderful publisher, but it is by no means large.  The staff is very, very busy, the publishing business being what it is.  They can’t function smoothly if their email and mail boxes are clogged up with anything that is not book related. 

To you it is something that you’d like to say to me.  To them it is spam. 

Please know that I appreciate all of your good wishes and kind thoughts, but you can’t keep sending stuff to Pamela.  I don’t want my publisher to think I’m too much trouble and decide to stop publishing me.

So PLEASE, send only Porcupine related stuff to Pamela Osti. 

Thank you for your understanding with this matter.  xo
