For the past three weeks or so, I've been forced to contemplate deleting or locking down this livejournal because of harassment and privacy threats I've been receiving as a somewhat bizarre result of RaceFail09.

Preordered from Amazon; this sounds like exactly my kind of book! Thank you. (And sorry for the horrible experience.)

[dragovianknight]

there are people in publishing out there willing to take risks!

I wish there were more of them; maybe I'd find more books I actually wanted to read, if there were!

I'm definitely ordering your book; by the power of LJ, let's prove them wrong about Asian fantasy not selling.

Do you mind if I link to this? This is a really important story to me, a first-hand concrete illustration of why I'm only getting to read a limited selection of books.

Your book sounds right up my alley! I will look for it.

Thanks for writing this. It explains the circular reasoning that ensures that most fantasy published in the US is European medievaloid or contemporary American.

I'm really excited that this book is coming out, especially with your story that accompanies it.

I came here via jonquil's post, and then read the Amazon blurb--your book sounds wonderful, and I can't wait to read it. I'm so glad you were able to find a publisher; that first guy had no idea what he missed!

Congratulations! And the book sounds awesome - I've added it to my Amazon cart and wish you huge success!

I just wanted to say that although I haven't had a chance to read your book yet, I've heard of it via word of mouth from other people and am really looking forward to getting it. And that maybe me and the other people I know are a very miniscule part of the market, but we are one that is really looking for things like what you're writing!

I'm totally buying this for my little brother, but/and I am so, so sorry this happened.

[nextian]

Haha, he's 13 and he'll be almost 14 when it comes out. Perfect. I'll tell him it's homework and that he'll be famous on the internet. XD

I just pre-ordered it. It sounds wonderful. :D
