It took me quite a while to start liking any of the characters. At least, when the villainess finally came on stage, I had something to shout for. "Get rid of her!"

My cousin wrote to me:
My niece (12 yrs old) & I took turns reading your book. We both enjoyed it. She started a book club for her friends & will tell them about it. ... Haley will ask for it at Borders.

Yes it does!

Wow, you know a real live member of A.S.S.? I find that a bit difficult to believe; it's not nearly as likely as the word 'gullible' being stricken from the dictionary....

I can't believe I never posted this earlier. When I was dating that cello player I leant her the anthology. She read my story and actually was concerned I was violent because the main character was. That's about as stupid as believing aTOMic is a mass murderer because thousands of individuals die in his story. Or that SRD is a rapist . . . . Some people . . .

She didn't stop to consider that violent people have been your patients? That is pretty dense.

Ridiculous. She clearly doesn't have a handle on the concept of fiction.

If I were her the violence wouldn't bother me. I would however be concerned by the fact that you communicate with beings who are able to screw with us by manipulating time and space. ;)

Good one! :D :D :D :D

I cannot remember if I told everyone that I sent copies to my three sisters and they went nuts over it and had high praise for every single author, poem, and story? :biggrin: 8)
