A big hi from Redmond, Davonna. Thank you for accepting my friend request. I see that we share a love of Lovecraft. Have you heard about the convention in Portland this April?https://www.facebook.com/events/61085...

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you! I'm going to write you a PM on here! ;)
Hey Davonna!So, we just figured out that apparently half the people trying to contact us have been sent straight to our spam box. D: We saw your review request, though. And would totally be honored to review Scarlette, if the offer still stands ...
P.S - I'm getting my pink highlights,soon. When my hair is dyed blonde. So psyched! :DD
Thanks again!

Hey, sorry I'm just replying to this. The woman that did my cover was Australian designer Scarlett Rugers. Here is her website if you'd liked to see: http://www.scarlettrugers.com/
Glad the book hooked you and thanks for commenting! Happy holidays!
LOL, pink is so much better! Especially the pink in your hair. I want to dye my hair blonde, then dip dye it the color that's in your hair. Thanks, my friend did it for me. (:
Awwwh, thanks so much, Demitra! That's sweet of you. :D I just sent you a message. :DDemitra wrote: "Can I just say that I loove your hair? (:"

David, I DID see that that event was happening next month in Portland! There was a Kickstarter campaign for something in regards to the convention, if I remember correctly, not too long ago. Are you going? I love Lovecraft's concepts, stories, and ideas. However, sometimes the prose can get a little bogged down. ;) I'm sure you know what I mean. My favorite of his stories is THE NAMELESS CITY. Have you read that one? Love it!
