Praying For Rain is a short story that is a good start for anyone that hasn't read Mr. Kristoff's debut Stormdancer (The Lotus War # 1). The story itself is only about 20 pages long, but gives the reader an idea of how the residents of Kigen think...

Hmmm. We can elope to India or somewhere. But I'm guessing that you and the sun aren't on best terms so... Sri Lanka? Or Turkey? Their tea is FAB.

Hey Jay? Mr Kristoff? erm The-author-of-that-awesome-book-called-Stormdancer? Thanks for accepting my friendvite :) I'm currently reading Stormdancer and it's absolutely amazing!! I love your original storyline and the amount of research you've put into getting the Japanese terminology correct (as a student of Japanese I get highly annoyed when people do it wrong). So thanks for being such an awesome author And if you don't mind me peeping and prying, 13870 days?

Jay, would you please let us (actually me, but I'm trying to be a team player here) know when the book becomes available on NetGalley?Otherwise, I'm stuck at checking it everyday like a stalker. I confess I've been doing that.

You are too awesome not to friend. And...I'm in love with the cover and half afraid of imploding upon reading your book because it'll be too great for my mere mortal eyes. Anyway. Thank you for accepting my friend request.

Or as my grandma likes to call it 'cleansing their souls' to the one above that might not even be there. I certainly do not give a flying banana about cleansing my soul. I know it's clean (actually no, it's rotten and dirty).
Okay. Stripper-flavoured champagne? Yummy. Sounds very...saucy. Me wantz it! Naow! Ok, you're the same age as me, but this shows how much my mind is f*ucked up because that is not what I think about stripper flavoured champagne.

I feel like going to church, but I'm scared I'll start burning in the doorway.
Okay, yet another comment I haven't been notified on. Grr. GR is conspiring against me, I swear it.Okay. Stripper-flavoured champagne? Yummy. Sounds very...saucy. Me wantz it! Naow!
Also, lollipops? Hell yeah! I want me some lollipops!
(Bonus points if they are strangely shaped and taste of chocolate...)
What in the world? Stripper falvoured champagne?
The mental picture I have is horrendous, but so amusing.
Now, when I'll open the book I'll be expecting somebody to jump out and offer me some of that champagne.
Now that would be something.

*bows* You're welcome kind sir.

Mel (Tattie Bogle #2!) wrote: "You know, you are uncanningly similar-looking to the lead singer of the Foo Fighters; David Grohl."I have indeed heard that before. But it's okay - it happens so often it's kinda funny now. :)
And you're welcome! Thanks for asking. Really glad you like the sound of the book, I hope it lives up to all your hopes and dreams and transports you to a magical faraway land full of sunshine, lolly pops and stripper flavored champagne.
...or maybe not. :)
Thank you for being my friend here on Goodreads. I am really looking forward to reading and discovering your work, as it is of much interest to me (being an avid reader of fantasy).
Kind Regards
