> Contact me through my web site.  The address there goes straight to my assistant.  Let her know you're the fan from Reddit.  I can't let that kind of enthusiasm go by unremarked, however unwise it might have been. :)  Maybe I can give you an early look at some upcoming stuff in recognition of your love of my work, if nothing else.
