Hello. I'm Pierce Brown, the author of the Red Rising Saga, a NYT #1 bestseller.
I figured I'd write you myself than have corporate copy pasted below my totally natural author photo.

In my books you'll find stories of men and women finding their inner strength when all seems lost. You'll also find me exploring themes of love, violence, hope, and power--what it means, why people seek it, and how they hold onto it.

I just received the best surprise ever! A pack
age "Brown". Guess what, it is a signed manuscript of "Morning Star" by Pierce Brown. What a fantastic gift!! Been waiting for the last in the Trilogy and get this wonderful copy! I am so proud of my great-nephew that I tell all my reading friends about him! I'm not too good on the computer but, I hope I am on Pierce's friends list.
READ the Trilogy, everyone!

Thank you for accepting my friend request, really appreciated that. I recently start reading Red Rising in Chinese for several chapters, love it, but still kind of strange, so I finally get an English copy on my hand so that I can start reading the novel in English from the beginning.

Just finished Golden Son. Holy. Crap. Well done, sir. You had me guessing right up until the very end, and I've been left reeling. And now for the looooong wait til next January. Can't wait to find out how everything is resolved.

(Also, I hear you're going to be at SpartanCon next month! Looking forward to hearing you speak about the trilogy.)

Thank you for accepting the friend request. It is great authors like yourself are so willing to connect with fans.

Also have to say your novels are some of the best I have read in a long time. They have stuck with me long after reading them and I can't stop telling my friends, family, and coworkers to read them.

Even though its been days since I finished Golden Son, I am still thinking about it. Well done sir.

Can't wait till the third part. I do not have the faintest idea how you will end this.

Mr. Brown, please tell NetGalley that they absolutely must approve me for an ARC of Golden Son on account of my sanity possibly not lasting until January :D
