I was unpleasantly suprised to finally check my e-mail account on a
friend's computer to find a message I DIDN'T WRITE on the list.
	Look, I'm probably thought to be immature enough just due to the very
nature of Beautiful Liar.  However, I am not quite as immature as the
letter "I" sent out shows.  I worked rather hard to take such extreme
characters into a semi-believeable format.  To weave a tale takes more than
just angst and imbalance, it takes thought and a wanderer's spirit.  I seek
to quest where no one else has gone.  
	I hope that the extreme metaphorical nature of my work has not turned off
too many people, but I am, at heart, a poet.  Writing is for me as a
transcendental experiance as church is for a true Pentacostal.  I pour my
soul into my work, sometimes just a hint of who I really am.  This takes
effort, to make it both readable and enjoyable.  Sometimes I fail and
sometimes I succeed, but each time I find out with just a little more
clarity who I really am.  I am not a burn-out, nor am I a total introvert.
What I am is a dreamer.  Even when my dreams become nightmares, the journey
I take is worth the price.  I hope that you will continue to read the tales
if my journey, and not become dissillusioned because somebody who takes
advantage of an ill-attended computer makes me look less than intelligent.
	Until the next chapter of my tale,
		Jonathan Burke.
