I wish I had more people to talk to about Interview with the Vampire! More Importantly about Lestat in season 2! Excellent show. Excellent Milking It.

I’m so excited to read intermezzo (ok flex!!) but really curious about brat and martyr too, they sound so good. Also — huge congrats on getting published!!

Thank you!!!!

Brat is so cool if you’re a horror fan, it’s not scary by any means but plays with the genre in a very interesting way.

Martyr! just screams inspiration to me for novel writing. Its construction just makes me question everything in the best way!

Also I tried reading Martyr but really couldn’t get into it. I had to DNF and return to Amazon :(

So fair! Something about the slowly trickling stories on all sides with the different characters really worked for me.

Scary to me that you couldn’t get one!!!

So much pride for the published pic Nic - go on!!!!!

Gagging at the love for Intermezzo & Martyr! - so desperate to read both, I’m glad you enjoyed them! Rooney giving us such a jarring prose to rock the boat is interesting but I guess unsurprisingly I feel like she hates to be predictable!

Love Boulder on the bedside table - get to it asap! I think you’ll adore the prose. Intrigued for Blessings thoughts too.

I read your thoughts on Mammoth and it definitely solidified Boulder as a must read for the month!!
