About this author

Christian Simamora started as a teenlit (teenage literature) writer, but didn't forget his forever love on romance genre.

His published works: Jangan Bilang Siapa-siapa (2006), Boylicious (2006), Kissing Me Softly (2006, under pseudonym Ino Crystal), Macarin Anjing (2007), and Coklat Stroberi (2007). His sixth novel, a collaboration with his former editor Windy Ariestanty, SHIT HAPPENS: Gue yang Ogah Nikah, Kok Lo yang Rese?! won Best Local Book 2007 from Free! Magazine. And his seventh, PILLOW TALK was named as 'Book of the Year (2010)' by the publisher, GagasMedia. GOOD FIGHT, his eighth book, is already released on March 2012.

He is now working on untitled project with fellow author, Orizuka.

Meanwhile, he's working on his next novel. Or b...more


Senangnya.... Setelah setahun lalu total nggak bisa nulis karena urusan kuliah dan pekerjaan, akhirnya kesampaian juga untuk merilis novel ketujuh. Kali ini kategorinya novel dewasa/romance, judulnya PILLOW TALK.

Sinopsisnya:

Kami ‘bersahabat’ sejak kecil.

Tepatnya, kalau ada kata lain untuk menggambarkan sesuatu yang melampaui ‘sahabat’, maka kata itulah kami.

Berbagi cerita, berbagi rahasia. Bahk... read more »

Christian wants to read: I'm hard to please, that's for sure. And the rarest thing is cry because of a book.

That's why I ask you guys to help me: "PLEASE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD BOOK THAT YOU THINK WILL SUCCEED MAKING ME CRY."

[Last book that succeed make me cry is MORNING GLORY by LaVyrle Spencer]

And oh, I HATE Dickensian plot (born poor, cruel society, blah blah blah). I have more sympathy to unrequited love than, say, Children of Heaven.

Rada challenging karena memang bukan tipe bacaan gue yang biasanya. Dan, euh, fantasi pula. Tapi entah kenapa, gue ngerasa 55rb gue (beli diskonan) nggak bakal sia-sia dihabiskan buat buku ini.

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

-Jeremy


Jeremy Hi Christian!

Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Dasar pengarang rese... kenapa rese? karena baru sekarang2 ini gw ketemu bukunya, itu juga jujur aja, awalnya karena salah beli.
gila... gila! ringan, tapi daleeeemmmm. menghibur tapi juga ngajak mikir. sadis.

tanpa niat memberikan beban pikiran sama sekali (nooooo!!!!! that's awful...) jangan pernah berhenti menulis ya... can't wait to get n read your next book.
