Roman Zolanski Hi Gena, Thanks for the add. Really. I just finished the three Intertwined novels that are currently out and Omg I loved them. They were the first novels of yours that I've read and the definitly WON'T be the last. :) I love the way that you write and absolutely can't wait to start another one! I'm just hoping that the fourth Intertwined book comes out soon so I don't have to wait forever!!! I have "Alice In Zombieland" on order from Amazon right now so anyday now I should be starting that... Can't wait!!! Thank you for creating Aden Stone... He is a character that I can relate to cuz I also at the age of three was placed into the care of the state do to the abandonment of me by my birth parents and have been in and out of institutes since then. He is a character that I look up to and have related with throughout the whole storyline of the Intertwined books. Thank you!! You are truly an amazing author... Please continue to bless the world with your wonderful writings.

I just discovered your books the year before last and recently got caught up on the LOU series. Now I find myself signed up for the Under the Covers Showalter reading challenge because I am excited to read even more of your books. I love your creative world building and the tone of your writing.

Hope your new year is going well!
Sophia

Jessica Hey Gena, Just finished the first book in your Lord of the Vampire series. LOVED IT! Out of all the authors that I read, you are by far my Fav. The books never lack for anything, and they also have humor. A must in most of the books I read. So thank you, for making my night relaxing and my dreams wonderful. ;)

Gena Showalter Thank you so much, Mel! How wonderful to hear you enjoy the Angels of the Dark -- I had such a great time writing Koldo's story (Beauty Awakened), so knowing someone is looking forward to it makes me smile :)

Are you going to come to Canada anytime soon (specifically Toronto)? Will you be at this year's RT convention?


Realitycheck Thanks for the friending, please feel free to check out my bookshelves, quotes, friends and groups for things that might interest you or you read and forgot about.


message 3: by Alice (last edited Oct 10, 2012 07:34am)

Alice Hi Gena, I' very shy talking to my favorite writer. I'm reading all the 'Underworld' series. I want to thank you for sharing your talent with us. I can't say which hero I love best, they are all great. Keep them coming for your fans, of which I'm #2, lol. I'm disabled and I lose myself in your books forgetting my disability. My computer is old, but the window to the world.
Love you.
