From The Mail Bag

Please enjoy this post by Michael Thomas Ford on RedRoom.com today. Why do gay men get the best fan mail? – Erika Rae, Irresponsible Editor

For some reason Mondays bring the most reader mail. I don’t know if it’s because people have more time over the weekend and decide that writing to me is preferable to cleaning out the garage or what, but the mailbox always seems to be particularly stuffed come the start of the week.

Today I received two e-mails that–for very different reasons–made me happy. Here’s the first one. (Note: I’ve changed the writers’ names, but the text is unedited.)

Mr. Ford,

Were you born a homosexual or did you choose to become one (long story short I’m writing a research paper for my English 104 class and I came upon your book, and I just HAD to email you)?

Thank You,
Debbie in Dubuque
