Hey Steven, I'm extremely impressed with your lyrics for 'Spring'-you manage to keep the original content of the play while making it contemporary. I'm looking forward to seeing 'Nero' this weekend. michael
I see you get this a lot, but I just wanted to thank you for accepting the add. And also say that I loved Spring Awakening and I look forward to Nero (I think I heard that was your next project.) I too hope to become a musical lyricist and bookwriter one day and Duncan Sheik and youself have fueled the fire a bit more :)

Here's some book info: "It's Only Temporary: The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive." (http://news. bookweb. org/5986. html) It's about how I finally learned to relax and enjoy life - only 23 years after I was told I'd be dead in six months. There's lots of info on my profile here, or at evanhandler. com.
I hope you can forgive the pitch. It's rough out there for books, and this is a worthy one. And even the cover is pretty funny....do you agree?
