Jennifer Estep Thanks! I really appreciate all the nice words about my books, and I'm glad you are enjoying my various series. I also offer bookmarks to readers. You can e-mail me here on Goodreads to find out how to get some of those. Thanks again for the lovely note.


Ruvinika A while ago I accidentally found your Elemental assassin series while browsing recommendations in the Goodreads site. So I thought I'll go for it, and as soon as I got my hands on it I got addicted to the series not only because it was such a mind-binding story but also because of your writing style.
You have a really good sense of humour and you know how to pour that into your books. I finished off the whole series including the free short stories (Thank you very much for those) within a matter of a week and was lusting for more.

I needed a fix so badly, I went ahead and bought the Bigtime series. Those might be a bit too predictive but that did't hurt the enjoyment of the ride. Plus those books are helluva hilarious. xD
(Every time I crack up my brother peeks into my room and comments "you are doing that weird 'book laughing' thing too often these days and it creeps me out." )
I really hope you'll write more books into that series.

By this time I knew that you can't screw up anything you write cuz you are too much talented for that. Thus I ended up with the two available books of the Mythos academy series, even though I am not much into young adult series (They are too less violent for my taste. :D )
I see that you have soften your style of writing to suit the teens but still I love those books so much as they also contain a really interesting story line with lots of mysteries and open ends to continue from. (I am really suspicious about Gwen's dad and the hateful attitude Nickamedes has towards her...hmmm...)

I rarely write messages to authors or reviews for the books cuz I am too much of a lazy brat. But in your case I got more than enough of an energy boost and motivation to write you to encourage you to write the next books of your series as soon as possible as I am dieing to read more...:D
And I also want to request you to write more and more new series cuz in me you have an eternally devoted fan who will read anything you write and I am sure that I'm not the only one. ;)

Dayla I absolutely love your writing! I read karma girl and found it satisfyingly satirical, and I'm currently reading touch of frost and I'm already loving it, considering that I've only just begun reading it! Keep writing great books!


Jennifer Estep Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the books.

Rogier oooooh /book4/hav not read book2 yet and all ready day dreaming of book 3 nd 4/ so love gwen n logan


Jennifer Estep Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the book and are looking forward to DARK FROST.


Patrycja Today i finished Kiss Of Frost and I have one question: "Can You marry me?" just kidding. If I was a man or homosexual this would be serious coz you know if I was Youre husband I would can read Youre books before they got published! I must wait months to Dark Frost and I think I cant handle it..! Or can I at least marry Logan?


Jennifer Estep Thanks! Glad you enjoyed TOUCH OF FROST, and I hope you like KISS OF FROST too. Happy reading!


Patrycja I am counting days to Kiss of Frost since i finished Touch of frost in July. :D


Jennifer Estep You're welcome. Thanks for your interest in my books. Glad you liked HALLOWEEN FROST, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the Mythos Academy series too. Happy reading!


message 13: by Melissa

Melissa Thanks for accepting my friend request!
I read "Halloween Frost" in the anthology "Entangled" and absolutely fell in love with Gwen's character. Because of that story I have already read the back story of how Gwen came to lose her mother and started on Book #1. I've also pre-ordered book #2 for my nook. You have a wonderful style of writing and I am enjoying this series. I plan on starting to read your other series also. Thanks!!


Jennifer Estep Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the series. I appreciate all the nice words about the books. If you haven't checked them out yet, there are several freel Elemental Assassin short stories on the Excerpts page of my website. Happy reading!
