truepennyThere are a lot of y'all reading this blog.
I'm figuring it's time for one of those periodic getting-to-know-you posts. So if you'd like to introduce yourself, or you'd like to ask a question (any question, although I reserve the right not to answer), here's a superlative spot to do it at.
This is not a pressure-y kind of thing. Only an invitation.
And I'll reiterate a couple of things:
1. I almost never add people reciprocally. Because, well, I have 25 people on my reading list right now, and that's almost too many. There are many people whom I like and admire whose blogs I don't read. Apparently, I just need that processing power for something else.
2. I only reply to comments if I actually have something to say. However, I read all comments, and I am always, always grateful for them. (N.b., excluding the occasional and inevitable troll.) I forget to say that a lot, because sometimes I'm kind of a rotten excuse for a human being. But I'm definitely reading and interested.
So here. The lines are open and you're on the air.

Date: 2007-02-26 09:08 pm (UTC)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!
