I had lines from stories stuck in my head and couldn't remember what story they were from so I figured I'd re-read some of them, and then I find this!! D: Recently I've really started feeling like the queen of "being out of the loop". But I guess that's what I get for reading books in stead of interweb-fic...
But I'm so excited! I actually started reading REAL paper books! A friend of mine thought I was joking when I told her I read a book. I was excited that I read A book last year, I've read 3 in the last 2 months, and I'm half way through a 4th. It's scary, isn't it? :p
But anyway, I'm so sad to see that you've taken all the stories down, but I can't wait to see what you come up with next! I'm always excited like a 3 year old with a lollipop to see what the next brew in your literary cauldron is.
In reading some of the other responses, now I also have an urge to bug my parents for a kindle. :p
I can't wait to see you as a published author, that would make my year. X)
I hope you'll keep us updated on how that's going, I know you've already got an excellent fan base.
Hopefully I'll be able to remember to check back more often. Life is good making me forget to do so.
-Frankie :)
P.S.
Curiously (if you don't mind me asking), what part of VA are you moving to? I live in MD, and my parents tend to be-bop all over the tri-state area. I'd love to run into you some day. :3
Author's response
Long time no hear, Frankie! It's amazing how I remember you all by your handles. lol First of all, thank you SO much for coming back and looking for the stories! And for remembering parts of them too!
Secondly, I LOVE that you're reading paper books!! lol I swear, if reading physical books ever becomes old school...lol I'm excited to start out with Kindle. It's such a fast way to reach people, and cheaper too. I suppose it's green as well; not using gas to go to the store, not killing trees for the paper, etc. But I will still always love the feeling of holding a paper book in my hands and marking the page; seeing how much story I still have ahead of me by the placement of the marker in the width of the book; the sound of a spine cracking when I get to the middle of a hardback; the worn bend of a softback that reminds me just how many times I've loved it; the scent of brand new book that escapes as you flip the pages. I love those little things so much that they're big to me! I love that you're enjoying holding a story in your hands as well as your your head and heart. I think that's beautiful.
Thank you so much for your excitement over what's to come and your support! They both mean the world to me and I can't express enough gratitude! I will DEFINITELY keep you all updated and you'll be the first to know once I'm back out there. I'll post a message on here as well as start a new message to try to reach as many of you as possible.
I never say exactly where I am because, well, it's the internet. lol I've had my fill of crazy readers who crossed some serious boundaries, and lies with the whole Penelope Couper, figlio_vampiri, Cancer hoax. I know you're not one of the crazies. lol Don't get me wrong. It's just that even though I'm talking to you, others will read it too. I can say I'll be outside of Charlottesville, VA and looking forward to a view of the mountains, hopefully. And I grew up in MD! Silver Spring just outside of DC! I think you and I talked about that once. I'll ask where in MD you're from, but I totally understand if you can't say for the same reasons above. lol I'd love to run into you someday too! Maybe one day there will be a book signing? lol Wishful thinking. But if I ever move back to MD maybe we can trade emails or something and set up a meet? Thank you so much again, Frankie! xo Harley
