Benjamin~ thank you very much for accepting the friendship request. It's truly an honor. I read Red Moon earlier this year, and as a fairly analytical reader, I enjoyed it very much. Your writing style and word choice are mind-blowing. I look forward to your other work. Keep us all the awesome writing!
