Just let me know when you're ready. :)

In another authors hands, this could have been excessive, but it fit this story perfectly.
Kealan is a wordsmith par excellence.
Jon, do you remember me coming here shoutingREBIRTH!? LOL
And thank you, Jon. : )
No doubt about that. My first encounter with his writing was THE GRIEF FREQUENCY. Picked it up for free and it wowed me. Now I am a true fan.

Yes, I do.
I hid behind the couch till you stopped. ;)
Anytime!
Kealan, I felt that there was a possibility here for a sequel! Let me just say thank you in advance!

A sequel to Kin? Oh yeah, that should be fun.

I was paying attention that time, Jon! I hope you noticed. : )

You are most welcome, Kealan. Thank you for being an inspiration to fledgling writers like myself. I can't wait to dig deeper into your work.
Haha, Sharon! I agree. I've got enough downloaded for two lifetimes, easy.
Marc, you say that like it's a bad thing.
Yeah, you can never have too many books.

You do realize that we will be extremely annoying and impatient until it's release, right?Kinda like Twilight and Harry Potter fans, just smarter and more creatively sadistic.
Good.We ain't offering it any other way. ;)

LMAO Jon.
Just an aside here...something that's on my mind.I try to give indie writers some support, you know? I believe that there are authors out there fully capable of putting out great books, but they are currently toiling out there, unknown.
Then you come across just the most terrible POS, EVA!
You find yourself wondering how such a book could have numbers of rave reviews? How could a book be released with so many errors? How could a book be released with such stilted dialogue that it drives one insane, just by reading a few paragraphs?
BTW, I ditched the so-called 'book' that I was reading. I am now on to Lee Thompson's Within This Garden Weeping.I hope to start Nemesis: The Death of Timmy Quinn within the next week. Whoohoo!
You come across a book with sockpuppet fake reviews, Charlene?
As an indie author myself, Charlene, I find that there is nothing more atrocious than some people peddling terrible works and getting me to buy it by faking reviews. Reviews are my bread and butter, and are very hard to come by. I recently fell victim to the same con, thinking "was this an elementary student who wrote this??" realized I was scammed. what a mess.
Hey, it worked for John Locke, and no one cared....
You can't go wrong with some Thompson and Burke, Charlene! I'd pay good money to watch either of them make out with a super model.
Never too late to change professions. Or just do both, yeah? Hehe. I'm horrible about keeping up with forums because I'd rather be reading or writing, but I love Charlene's passion for great fiction and love your work, man. And super models. They're good.
Lee wrote: "You can't go wrong with some Thompson and Burke, Charlene! I'd pay good money to watch either of them make out with a super model."Oh, good Lord.......Charlene would kneecap the model with a sledgehammer.......
You don't gotta climb into the cage to get a picture of a wildcat, Kealan.....
What?

Just started SNOWBLIND by Michael McBride. So far it's fantastic.
Never read him.Making a note to check him out.
Kealan wrote: "Mike's stuff is great."Thus far, I agree.
Just did an online Q&A with Michael last week thru DarkFuse. Very cool guy. I have several of his books and just picked up Snowblind too. I need to start that one soon.
Finished Alan Ryker's new novella, "The Hoard," yesterday. Read it in a single evening, plus maybe the last three percent in the morning. Good fun and I liked the characters.

Can you give me a week or so, though? I have a couple of group reads to get through and one pre-read and then I should be ready. : )
