I bought it yesterday. For some miracle I remembered you saying the release was set for valentine's, and yes, there it was. Reading it now and I'm loving it. I love that you use Neruda's poems, both in English and Spanish. As promised, I'm pimping it in the m/m romance forum at amazon and in the m/m rec. Group in Facebook. Because you're worth it :p Good Luck!

Whatever you did is totally working! Thank you so much! I appreciate the L'Oréal slogan, too. :D

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the Neruda; I'm a big fan. Poetry is such a different beast in translation--I love the English, but Spanish is such a rhyme rich language.

The chapter titles are dissected and rearranged poems, too, but different poets. Please vote me for most pretentious werewolf romance writer of 2014.

I will, don't worry. As soon as I find out where's the competition. :-)
I grew up reading Neruda ( I was a pretentious girl too) and even had a LP in which some guy read,with a deep and manly voice, 20 poemas de amor y una canción desesperada. Guess it was like a proto audio book.
Back to your book, I'm on it now, about 50% and I really really like it. I will write a review when I'm finished, probably tomorrow. People is talking about it in the forums and they are complaining about the ending. Hope you don't take another year to finish the next one! :-) kidding, you shouldn't pay attention to fans or will end like some famous writers that produce crap stories to satisfy their minions.
I hope you don't mind me telling you, but there are quite a few typos and minor mistakes in the book, that I guess shouldn't be difficult to fix. If you didn't fix it already, I marked the ones I found and could send them to you. Just sayin''... Call me a teacher, el afán de corregir me supera! Ok. Have a lovely weekend and I'm back to my reading.

First things first--re: errors, I'd like to say that I had an amaaazing editor this time around who did a wonderful job of correcting fifty million things in my manuscript, and all remaining errors are me making last minute html fuck ups and probably then working in an incorrect and earlier file to fix things. :) But yeah, totally, please send anything you find over to [email protected]. I'd appreciate it.

everything else--

I would LOVE a Neruda LP, oh man. I'm going to google around to see if this exists on the internet. Poetry is one of those things I'm weirdly resistant about digitizing in text, though--I own *two* physical copies of Neruda poems, an actual physical copy of Richard Siken's Crush, etc. Pretentious girl high five!

I won't take another year to finish the next one. I'm lucky that I can write fast--I wrote Winter Wolf in 50 days flat and the bulk of City Wolf over two months. For me, it's just doing everything ELSE that makes me painfully slow...story is easy.

I'm kind of thrilled with all the complaints about the ending. It's the Empire Strikes Back school of trilogy writing.
