Hello, I am a huge fan of yours and your books. I wanted to thank you for accepting my friendship request here on Goodreads. Thank you for creating a universe for me to escape into! I own the All Souls trilogy and plan to continue it if you allow me to.Lots of Love from Canada,
~Toni.
Your books have been a most lovely escape for me and I can't thank you enough for all these characters I have come to love so much. Can't wait for The Book of Life!
Dear Deborah,Thank you so much for accepting my friendship request here on Goodreads!
Kind Regards
Lucinda x
Thanks so much for accepting me as your friend! I'm so enthralled with your Discovery of Witches book right now and I went out and bought your sequel right away! Thank you!
Hey I did a presentation on your book The Jewel House and was wondering if you could share your thoughts on it. What was your favorite part in writing The Jewel House? What was the hardest thing about writing it?
Thanks for the add! Love the first two books... can't wait for the third ;-) I've recommend them to just about everyone I know.
Deborah, thank you for adding me to your friends list. I am soo addicted to your books! I am trying to be patient for the third book to come out of the Discovery of Witches trilogy but it is soooooooooo hard! I can only hope it will be soon, wink wink! Denise Counts
Thanks so much for accepting my friend request. Totally made my day :) I so enjoyed and loved reading A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night. Big fan. Can't wait for the third book! Have a wonderful day!
Deborah, thank you so much for adding me as a friend. Missed you at your Houston book tour appearance, but hope to see you for the next book tour. Thanks again, and thank you also for the hours and hours of wonderful reading. Beabe
Thank you for the add! I love A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night - the characters, the story, the history, everything. Looking forward to the next book. :) I hope we will see more of Baldwin.
Thank you so much for your wonderful reading last night at the Odyssey! I was lovely meeting you and learning a little more about the historical significance of Matthew and his friends. Thank you again for reminding me how much I love learning and inspiring me to go back to school for my Graduate degree. I can't thank you enough :)
Deborah! I am so excited to have received my hardback copy of Shadow of Night today! My review's been posted for a week, but I am just so excited to finally have the paper copy in my hand. Many congratulations on this release day. Can't WAIT for book three - counting the moments! Have a great rest of your week!
I'm really looking forward to reading Shadow of Night, and getting lost in history!Edit: Yay! I got my book!
Thank you for accepting my friend request! I am so excited for your next book!! It feels like I have been waiting forever!! Down to the home stretch!! :)Have a great weekend!
Thanks for accepting my friend request Deb. I'll probably be one of your scarcer friends here ^.^ Hardly any time for reading these days, but I do try. I have a few books marked on here already, however. lol. The ever growing list. x
Thanks for accepting my friendship! I'm reading A Discovery of Witches and I'm enchanted! It's so beautifully written and Diana is smart and strong and sassy and doesn't play damsel in distress which I love and Matthew is dreamy, intelligent and downright delicious! I love all the history and science mixed with the supernatural elements, it's all of my favorite things together, real accurate history and the paranormal! Thank you for writing such a beautiful story, I'm devouring it like Diana devours her books and Matthew devours Diana... I mean science... ;)
Thanks for accepting the friend request. I love A Discovery of Witches - its one of my favourite books! Sooooo excited about Shadow of Night!!!

Thank you for the add!A friend recommended Discovery of Witches to me, and I love your writing. I just received a M.A. in History, and have also been interested in fiction writing, so I really look up to you as a writer.
I can't wait for Shadow of Night!
Thank you for such a wonderful book! It had been collecting dust on my shelf for months since I'd purchased it. Then suddenly it seemed to call me on the eve of Halloween. I sat down after work and thought well maybe just a few chapters. As it happened I closed it, completed, the next afternoon without having slept.
It was refreshing and a nice change to read about vampires and witches that had substance beyond their supernatural abilities. I can't wait for the follow up books.

Hopefully those Friday treats will keep us all going until SHADOW comes out! :)
