I've learned a valuable (and expensive) internet lesson recently. Last month a bot from IP address 198.199.124.41 tried to access a page on my blog and encountered a '404 Not Found' error. It was unsuccessful, so it tried again and again and again and again...25,209,286 times. Eating up 24,987,720 Kbytes of data and netting me a £417.82 bill for bandwidth overage from my provider. That's $656.1...

Hey, Sadie!Finally getting around to a Print On Demand version of DAUGHTER MOON. I plan to put a slightly abridged version of your review of MOON on the back cover. Please say yes? My graphic artist wants fewer review words; I want tinier review words: but I think she's going to win. Hope you are doing well. In other news, I finally joined a GoodReads group: something about Time Travel . . . Cheers! @hg47

I think your Emily Kane novels do too. I'm definitely going to try and find a good translation or two and look into it further. Wikipedia had a list of the most well known books, but not if they are in English. But look:

Goodreads has two small groups of Wuxia readers. I'd bet they could point us in the right direction. At the very least they have bookshelves. Thank for sharing. I'm a little excited now.
Hi, Sadie. A colleague of mine recently told me about "wuxia", which apparently is a genre of Chinese martial arts fiction. It's usually about a heroic figure who protects helpless innocents. Anyway, as soon as I heard this, it struck me that The Weeping Empress is like wuxia, though Muhjah and Senka strain the type a bit. I suppose my books are a more distant cousin of wuxia. One thing the genre is known for is gripping descriptions of fight scenes.
I thought I might read a few to try to learn something from them, especially about choreographing the fight scenes. The trick is finding readable translations. But I've heard that one or two have been translated well recently.
......................................... Hi Sadie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It all looks wonderful. I saw your lovely review too. I'll have to look into the Tiptree. Off to Twitter, FB, etc.
Hi Sadie, and I'm pleased to say your author interview is now live on the blog and so is the Book Giveaway too - you and your fans can find it here: Interview with Sadie Forsythe and Book Giveaway
Hi Sadie, I just wanted to say thank you for accepting my friend request and to wish you Happy Reading in 2012 :-)
Hi Sadie, the books have been sent. We didn't talk about a review time. What do you think? You can also answer this after you recieve them.Linda

Of course yes! By all means. The book deserves to be in print and I'd be delighted to have contributed even the few small words. The groups can be addictive, be careful. :-)
