Aww Christine, thank you!

Jordan, I can’t wait to read your Tor book. Everything I hear about it makes me want to read it even more.

Rhian - thank you so much. On my best day I’d like to think I’m an artist. Of course, entertaining people is important - the book should be accessible. But risks can pay off in great stories (like Dirty)

NJ - I was talking about you last night when I was at dinner with friends, saying how much I loved your books and what a genuinely nice person you were and lookit here, you go and prove me right!

I love the fact that authors are pushing the envelope. As a result, there have been a ton of fabulous books released over the past few years.

Good luck with selling your book. If you wrote it, I know it has to be fantastic!

Yes, damn it YES! Authors ARE artists too and envelopes NEED to be pushed, boxes stomped and the sharp edge of creativity allowed to cut apart comfortable expectations and give birth to new and exciting stories! Dang Lauren, You rock. But i knew that. And of course - you write it and i’ll buy it and read it.

Here, here. I love the mix of genres. It makes for more interesting reading. The one I have coming out next year combines sci-fi, fantasy, romance and horror together.

I don’t have a problem w/ too much romance, too much sex or hard assed heroine. Unless there is no story at all. Let’s face it sex can’t save a book that has no story or completely unlikeable characters. I can’t wait for this story. Hey maybe I’m prejudice because I like your work. You haven’t disappointed me yet so I am willing to look outside the box
