Heya,
Yeah, I wanted to let you know that I've paid tribute to Al Kilyu in THE RUTING SEASON. Near the end of the book, there's a secondary character (a cop) named Al Uylik. Just my way of saying thanks for the TON of laughs you've given me regarding Nicky P (and keep up the good work, man).
Figured you'd get a kick out of that!

Al says:
would you do me a favor and tell gnet?
soooo... here I am. Telling Gnet. I don't know this author and have no idea if the book mentioned,
The Ruting Season, is any good or not but our own Alkilyu has finally been given his 15 minutes of fame... sort of.
He'd post it himself but then I'd make fun of him for coming back after he said he was leaving :P
Here's a link to the book and some more info - slightly shill but the occasion warrants it I think.
