Part 10? ext_478485 May 10 2011, 20:42:05 UTC

Last part will be December right? Hmmm I am already thinking I can take next day off work... We "need" a release day cyber party for final installment :) ....

I'm pleased to discover that you got your copy of book three.

The final installment book party sounds like a great idea!
Maybe we should all meet up at the good reads site... I'll try to come up with some party favors...

Good reads... GREAT idea :) series are fun and i really hope you get to release as print version too - your covers are just gorgeous !!

Re: Part 10? ginnhale May 10 2011, 21:29:16 UTC

I like the covers myself!

And I'd really love a print release of some kind, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much-- it's a lot of investment to ask of a publisher. Still my fingers are crossed! (Hard to get anything written this way but what can I do?)

Part three! And there was much rejoicing!

Seriously, part three has invigorated my whole week: downloaded it this morning, read it over Swedish Fish and Ceylon tea, and loved it. I think this newest installment is my favorite yet, even if I feel the leaden spirit of the Repression Fairy hanging heavily over my head (ah--shit, mixed metaphors? Sorry about that).

I can hardly wait to see what crazy shenanigans they start up over Black Blades at Goodreads …even I always feel like such a dork on the threads XD I’ll have what I think is some sort of GREAT LITERARY REVEALATION only to find out everyone else has had the exact thing in mind for weeks. It’s the collective subconscious at work, my friends!

The time loops/contortions have blended my mind to jelly. But it’s a pleasant jelly, best served over wheat toast. I’m certain it tastes like strawberry.

Oddly strawberries show up in the later books... maybe you've got something with that collective subconscious thing! :D

I can't wait to read what you have to say on Goodreads. I adore how quick and clever and creative all of you are. Its inspiring!

Arc 3 - WOW ext_478485 May 11 2011, 03:04:35 UTC

Finished Arc 3 ... Oh. My. God. That was intense - I have had to stop, wipe my tears, regroup and then I will hit Arc 4.... Not sure I could love Kyle any more than I do right now, I am tearing up just thinking of him when he got his memory back, and when Alidas said for him to leave :( Ginn thank you - this story is just beautiful and utterly brilliant !! .... ok onto 4 now!

Re: Arc 3 - WOW ginnhale May 11 2011, 05:01:58 UTC

I hope you have fun with arc four. It's more sedate but by the time it comes to a close I think--hope-- you'll be pretty thrilled. : )

Re: Arc 4 - aaaw! ext_478485 May 11 2011, 12:05:12 UTC

Yes - were right! I loved arc 4 too - that whole interaction with Bill, Laurie and John was so bittersweet - and helluva funny :) what with the probe and maccas upsizing lol and then as for Ravashan ... Hmmm , I like him, never thought he and Kyle were one and the same just in different times - but I am a through and through Kyle girl - so as sweet as the ending was, and god my heart breaks for John :( I just want him with Kyle. Not sure what to make of Dayyid I started off hating him, but , I dunno - maybe he actually isn't a bad guy, just a feeling... Fikiri meantime is building up IMO to be just that ...and now I wait for next installment :)

I'm so lucky to know Josh! He's awesome. And thank you for taking a chance, not just on a new author but on the whole serial-thing!

If you do read the Black Blades right way please feel free to pop into the Goodreads group and check out all the theories and rumors buzzing about!

Re: Done! ginnhale May 16 2011, 20:18:04 UTC

Yes, I have to be careful not to go tossing out spoilers myself because I get so involved in the conversations sometimes and I really want to say a little more sometimes.

Hi, Ginn!

I just wanted to let you know that I'm reading ''The Rifter'' even though I'm not reading it ;-) that is I didn't manage yet to read books 2 and 3, just because I was very busy with work and visitors.

The ironic thing is that I thought the first part was too short, and I was left absolutely in need of the next installments, and now I've got them and I don't have time to read them...

Anyway thank you for writing!

Be well!

Ciao
