Okay, so I woke up this morning to 52 emails. That’s never happened to me before. A lot of it had to do with the bananas response we got from the UK book trailer (which got over 27,000 hits in one day!), but even more had to do with the glowing review I got from the LA Times. http://lat.ms/ilAAPN

“Dreamless,” is slated for May 2012 — not soon enough, as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t wanted a... read more »

Jackielyn Byard Hi Josephine, can't wait for Dreamless. It's like Starcrossed all over again. The anxiety of waiting. Can't believe it's been a year :P Well, good luck, but I don't think you should worry much, it's gonna be great. I hope you'll have an international book tour that will bring you here in Norway. Preferably when the last book is out so that you can sign my books. :)

Michele Josephine,
Thank You so much for accepting my friend request. I absolutely loved Starcrossed. I adore greek mythology but you have created an interesting story and characters that are a breath of fresh air, absolutely wonderful. I talked about this book constantly and recommended it to all my friends. I think most of them read it just to shut me up but they couldn't put it down either and were sure glad they read it too. I love those simple "I told you so" moments, don't you. And now my fingers are all a tingle to get a hold of Dreamless. I can't wait.

Thanks, Michele

Zahra Josephine,
I'll admit, I've never really been interested in Greek mythology. I found it pointless and silly. I hated reading about it more than anything else. But when I read all those amazing reviews about your book,Starcrossed, I decided to give it a spin. And let me tell you, I'm extremely glad I did! I loved your book from the very first sentence! I read it all in a day; I just couldn't put it down! Starcrossed was honestly one of the best books I've ever read and I can't wait to read the next one, so hurry up(;

<3, One of your biggest fans :3
