Hi David,
This has been on my to read list for a while. When I saw how much you enjoyed it I decided to buy it for my Kindle. :o)
I just bought
Was waiting for it to come out on my Nook but just found it on Smashwords! Woot woot! :)

I was totally drawn in by the free sample. We will have to chat once I'm finished reading. :o)

Lol I've gotten that a few times and most people are happy like you haha!

Also - thank YOU and your fellow authors for donating the proceeds from Anthology to the American Cancer Society! I work for another large health non-profit now, but I worked for the ACS as a fundraiser/recruiter, and volunteered as the Relay For Life chair for two years - they hold a very special place in my heart. What an awesome gesture.

Oh my gosh, I totally thought for quite a ways into the book that it took place deep inside the moon. Too funny. Glad I wasn't the only one. I didn't want to fess up. ;-)

Also - ..."
Aww thank you so much, your words put a huge smile on my face and I'm so glad that you have a strong bond with ACS. It's such a small gesture, but it's nice to be able to put my writing to a good cause while also giving my readers some extra little tidbits from The Dwellers :)

Lol well I didn't exactly make it easy on you all with the title lol! Stupid me really. I've probably turned off a lot of potential readers because of the title if they don't want to read a book about the moon or space ;) oops!

Actually, I really liked the idea of a colony IN the moon. ;-) But the real story was even better once I figured it out! I like post-apocalyptic/dystopian tales even more than my sci-fi!


Erm... The Grimm Chronicles is one of them... The Iron Butterfly... too many to name, XD

I was like "what!? huh!? you want ALL my books signed?" LOL, it was a very fun and happy day for me. Thank you so much for your waaay incredible support Karen. And books are an awesome thing to splurge on!
OK, I am very jealous of your book purchases too! I so need to read A Million Suns and I haven't even read Crossed yet! I'm excited to see what you think of Gone, if you like it enough, we may have to read the sequel together :)
