Yesterday on twitter, I expressed annoyance with the hundreds of people who send me emails or tumblr messages or whatever to let me know that they illegally downloaded one of my books, as if they expect me to reply with my hearty congratulations that they are technologically sophisticated enough…

Anticipation rises in my heart as I slowly caress your back.

Your musty scent excites me

and you still surprise me, after all those years.

This is my favourite time of day,

you and me, snuggled up on the couch,

by the light and warmth of a fire.

We’ve been through so much together,

love, pain, birth and death,

the past, the present and the future.

You hold so many secrets,

so many questions

and so many answers.

There’s so much you can teach me about this world.

I love you, my book, I do…
