NICE! Very, very NICE! Gorgeous cover and can’t wait to read the inside. I have a policy about making sure I buy books by people I know. No library, no lending. It’s on my list! (though I might not do Amazon…)
SO exciting!

Hi Sonya!
So excited about the cover and the impending publication! I’d imagine it still must seem like Mar ’09 is still a lifetime away. The wait must be torture…
Anyway, I’ll need multiple signed copies and will patiently await the audio and the Kindle “formats”. (How crazy to speak of books “formats”.)
Congratulations Sonya!

Do people take their “lives” with them wherever they go, and where they end up just add to that misery or add “the something” they were desperately searching for?
People want their own worlds that they can exchange for what they see and have now. What’s in between is what the story is made up of.
That’s what I’m reading from the reviews of your book.

Just finished reading your first and great novel yesterday.
Funny enough, I am in a get out the vote campaign for my panel idea for ‘South by Southwest Interactive 2011’and it is titled Six Years Blogging, Lust, Love, Seven Year Itch and Love/Lust were recurrent themes, words in your book.
Looking forward to read more from you

Thank you, Serge. Glad you enjoyed the book, especially since you are a “French guy.” Good luck with your panel campaign!
