Praising O'Connor

Shameless Plug Dept.:

I just received this email and I agree with the writer's assessment of O'Connor's work. If you haven't read O'Connor (or me!), you should. (Wasn't that a blatant bit of self-promotion?)

Hello Ms. Rozakis,

I'm a freelance writer, m.a.w., and i read your books for fun, if you can imagine. i think you're hilarious.

one thing though, you, like almost every other writer on writing makes no mention of frank o'connor and his short stories, which i personally think are equal to, or better than, poe, irving etc.

whats your opinion of him?

With my thanks for your time and attention to this matter...
