People are still reading Living With Ghosts -- which delights me. And this review made me very happy indeed this morning.

I am rereading Living with Ghosts. It is such a seductive read. I can just feel myself sinking into the story. Like rich dark chocolate. In terms of a writer observing another writer: it inspired me.

As a reader: I look forward to your next book.

Thank you. I am always astonished and awed that writers whose work I love like my book.

Good, because it's a fabulous book.

Thank you. (Embarrassed now.)

I'm not at all surprised - people will be reading LWG for some time, it's a brilliant read. I say that as somebody who ISN'T normally keen on fantasy with pre-industrial settings, so LWG seduced me.

(To get sense of my odd tastes in fantasy, I DO like Tim Powers, Jon Courtney Grimwood and (recently) China Mieville.)

Thank you: it means a lot that you like it.

Very nice!

I was very happy when I read it.

Oh very nice review! On to the TBR pile it goes.

Ugh...how frustrating. It's not available in my country.

*sigh*

I know it's nothing you as the author have any control over, I do wish publishers wouldn't do this.

I'm very sorry to hear that. But if you want to tell me your postal address via lj message, I'll happily send you a copy.

I really appreciate the offer, but I'd feel terrible. :

I'm going to order the Real Book (what's the opposite of an ebook?) at the end of the month. (It's not that I can't get the book here at all, it's that I am a product of my time and want everything instantaneously. Heh!).

Once again, thank you very much for the kind offer.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

It would have been no trouble, really. But yes, the ebook thing.... it's a pain and a half.

A fabulous review, love, for a fabulous book. Every time I read it, I get even more pleasure than the last time... :) Keep writing... !!

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Thank you.
And you keep writing too!

Such a great, well thought out review. Lovely stuff!

I have to admit that I'm always surprised when someone I don't know reads it, but this was a lovely surprise.
