I picked up Melusine off Amazon after reading several good things about it online. It arrived and was promptly buried under a pile of mail. Then, a month ago, I was excavating our dining room table and found it again. I wasn't reading anything at the time, so I decided to have a go before I went to bed. Bad idea. I was up all night because I simply could NOT put the book down. So I called in sick to work the next day and finished it off, and then I ordered The Virtu off Amazon.
Normally, I hate learning about authors. Sometimes they're not like I want them to be and then it ruins their books for me. But I found your site, and then your journal, then your essays and I was hooked! I treasure everything you write.
As someone who spent many years in higher education English classes, I generally try to refrain from gushing. Fangirly behavior is plebian, I tell myself, and an author would value constructive and insightful criticism more than blanket praise. But I just can’t help it. Your books make me giggle and squeal with joy and stay up way past my bed time and I love every moment of it.

Please, never stop writing!
