Greetings to Mr Andrej Koymasky,
Master of the short, and sometimes not so short, story. I am presently working my
way through your archive on Nifty but can no longer contain my eagerness to write to
you in praise of your entertaining and delightful works. Today I have read your"Double shunt", that fantastical and exciting comedy of errors and am writing to express my admiration for the wide range of writing styles and story types that you have employed, and yet I have many more still to read.
You have a wonderful gift of drawing your reader into the mind and heart of your
characters as well as into the worlds which they inhabit.
I must admit that I have also looked at your website and was mightily impressed by
that but, at the moment, all of my enthusiasm is taken up by your stories.
I enjoy writing to the Nifty authors whose I encounter and offering my thanks and
praise and many of you invite readers to respond with comments etc as a fitting
means of rewarding your efforts. Today, however, I look on this little task as less
one of duty, or what I can do to repay an author, but rather one of expressing my
profound gratefulness for the excellent fare you offer up to us.
I wish your imagination and skill every power to continue to enthral us, your
readers. I also wish you health, safety and happiness, particularly at this time of
pandemic.
Very best wishes,
John, Scotland.

"Double shunt" - Well, first, it Is "Nifty", which means swell, neat, cool, nice. Some problems in your translation but a very neat twist to a story. But the doctor should have wiped his fingerprints off of the gun, etc. Of course, with no body, no crime.
I loved the twink boy who loved getting sexed so much he gave it away for free next time, I see a relationship growing there. Maybe add that into another story.

Hi Andrej
Just read your account of Jaume (The king of Sitges) and enjoyed it a lot. I then read a few episodes of your mafia story of confused identities (Double shunt), and then of Piero (Akim Akim).
I am not sure of your mother tongue, but because you get a friend to check your translation, I am pretty sure it is not English. Although a couple of stories are set in Italy, your name suggests that is not where you are from... it sounds more like central Europe.
I start with this preamble because I am writing to tell you that I am impressed by the way you write, especially as a presumed foreigner to English. There are occasional awkward expressions, but more often, I find myself admiring the way you express yourself. I also find your style more subtle than the more common, "bam bam thank you mam" with more tenderness and innocence and joy of discovery.
You also seem to be well travelled, with knowledge of Spain and Italy, which as I commented, are probably not your country of birth. That makes you a bit of a kindred spirit.

Dear Andrej,
As I read and reread your wonderful stories I find myself amazed at the amount of truth woven into fiction. One such truth, or I should say, the most powerful of all truths I discovered in your wonderful stories, I found in Double shunt.
From "Double shunt":
"A not previewed advance in time, a mistaken number, a cigarette packet and a magazine forgotten on a table... little things, of no importance in themselves, allowed Rinaldo to survive..."
It is the little things that happen and seem to be of no importance at the time, that give birth to some of our greatest achievements, and most of all, become the doorway to our greatest happiness and love. Discovering your wonderful site is one such "greatest joy" of all times to me.
I wish it were possible for me to write the words of the wonderful joy you have brought to me. But, alas, all I can do is put ink to paper and say with all my heart, thanks!!!
Your grateful friend,
Jim

I've seen your updates. I haven't read them yet, but I really want to do soon when I have time. My pc has just been repaired. it's terrible, I didn't have enough money to fix it sooner. end of complaint
Double shunt
I giggled all the time when I read this, it's short but very interesting. I wanted it a bit longer, but maybe it's better this way. most of yours works are very good, not all of them though (just in my opinon)
Somes stories , how I should put it, are a little difficult to read because there is too much sex, (I'm sorry) ex Boy-san , My Ten Models, Beach Tales
up until now, I still like The odd couple the best.
thank you for letting me read your stories.
happy lunar new year! Wish you health, happiness and more...
