Technology, great when it works.

So the usual "spring is sprung and my wireless highspeed signal is intermittent because of trees leafing out" (life in the country, gotta love it) turned into "thunderstorms have messed with the towers" to "the servers are screwed". I was getting bounced off on dial-up. So when I was actually able to get on line, I'd drop 140 characters into ( Read more... )

Dear Ms. Huff,

I have just completed the reading of "The Enchamtment Emporium". I read a lot of Fantasy and SF. Much of what passes for "new" these days is pretty thin soup, but "The Enchantment Emporium" is truely enjoyable. I thank you for writting and sharing your vision of the "Aunties" and the world view of the Gale's.

Sincerely,

Bruce Waldo

I must also second my love of The Enchantment Emporium. In fact, I hadn't read any of your books before reading an excerpt of Emporium in a Penguin/DAW sampler picked-up at SDCC last year.

My brother is also a big sci-fi/fantasy reader and passes books to me after he's finished them. As a result I have the Valor series, but haven't read them yet (space based novels are not my preference at the moment -- I'm enmeshed in reading UF). However, since he gave them to me at about the same time as I discovered Emporium, I think the universe was conspiring. ;)

I'll further embarrassingly admit that I wasn't aware that the Blood Ties TV Show that I loved was based on a book series, let alone yours. O.o That fact was discovered when reading the anthology Many Bloody Returns -- again, around the same time as reading the Emporium excerpt. Since then, I have read 4 of the Blood books (the last 2 are on their way) and look forward to reading your other series as I can locate them.

I've also enjoyed reading your blog.

Thanks,
Colleen
