I’m sitting here listening to yet another vlog post, to go with all the blog posts out there, on the subject of query letters. This isn’t really surprising, since it’s one of the most difficult parts to write, no one can really tell you how to do it, and if you need a topic for your weekly blog post it’s always there.
This particular vlog post is contributing to one of the things I consider to be t

Hi, Marc. I noticed that you have my book "Wind and Fire" on your to-read list. First of all, thank you very much for adding it!I just wanted to let you know that the edition you have marked is no longer in print. If you go to my author profile, you'll see another version there with two hands holding fire on the cover. This is the most current edition. If you could change your edition to this one instead of the other one, that would be great. Thanks.
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Marc. I've added "The Flame in the Bowl" to my TBR wish list.

Hi Marc, just stopping by to get to know you and your work. I love your bio. I too was attacked by my first book and it didn't relent until I wrote it LOL. Now I have a second one chasing me, ha ha ha. I'm glad we are friends, Elise
You're welcome. My first boss in this software company I'm at now was a philosophy type as well. He turned me on to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I hope you'll take a look at my books. I wrote Unbinding the Stone while I was going to grad school, and a lot of the concepts we were discussing then made their way into the book, although I don't think I hit the reader over the head with them.
Hi & thank you for being a friend on Good Reads!
Temeraire series is excellent - I need to get caught up on the most current book. Thanks for the friend - a friend and I are actually working on our first book, so it is always fun meeting other fantasy writers.
A fellow fantasy writer! Woowoo! =) I hope you are having a good day! =)http://www.cardshark.com/content/view...
Hi, Marc,Thank you for the invitation, and for finding me. Your cover is spectacular... very unique and eye-catching.
Best wishes,
Rowena Cherry
