    Hi Chris,
    Just wanting to let you know that I've been having computer problems, so haven't yet been able to read your novel. Thank you so much for emailing it to me and I'm hoping to be able to get to it really soon. Looking forward to it!

    Thanks for the friend request. I see your reading choices are much the same as mine. My weakness is buying more books than I can read; I doubt I'll ever be caught up. Barnes & Noble love to see me coming! :)

    Chris,

    Are you aware that using the "send private message" link at the top right of a member's profile page will send them a private email message? It will reveal you own email address to that member. That, at least, is better than posting it on the public notes such as these.

    Use that link to send me a note - we'll get a conversation going that way.

    Thanks,
    DL

    Chris,
    Just finished reading your book "Dirty Little Angels". I find your offering a little too dark for my tastes. Everything that happened seemed to be so "hopeless". Life is very difficult for a good part of the world right now, and we need a little bit of joy in our reading at least. The plot was good, but the story was too depressing. I will definitely check out your other book because I love to see what new authors have to offer. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to discover your work!

    Hi Chris,
    I don't know if i received a copy of your ebook and I deleted it or if I did not get one. Would you mind sending me a copy please? Thank you :)

    Hi Chris

    (Note: NO was once my favorite stomping grounds!)

    I'll be delighted to review your book. I'd prefer an online copy rather than email. Is that possible? I'm very leery of security issues so I don't reveal my email address often. If, however, email is your only option, just send me a "Private Message". That will reveal YOUR email address and I'll respond that way. Please, though, if there is an online version, I'd much prefer that.

    I'm declining the friendship request only because I choose not to use that Shelfari feature. Feel free to post a public note.

    Best of luck with the book,
    DL

    I sent you my e-mail address, but I would prefer to do the audio if it's still an option.

    Yes, I can try that.. I haven't been really successful with completing novels on tape/ CD before, but I'm willing to give it a shot.. For some reason, I have a hard time following the story when it's on CD, due to distractions while driving, and then I forget where I left off.. So, I end up wasting more time than if I read the book myself. What do you think?

    I would love to read and review your book. I think White Oleander was so beautifully written.

    Hi - Sorry - haven't been on here in awhile and haven't checked my messages. Rather unlike me. Anyhow, if you'd still like me to read your book - I would be happy to. Dawn

    Hi! I would love to read your book! Unfortunately, reading books on the computer gives me horrible headaches, but if you ever get more paper copies, I'd love to read it! :-)

    Hi Chris, I'd be happy to read/review your book, however I'm not a fan of the e-book format. I'd prefer to wait until you get a hard copy. I read the synopsis of Dirty Little Angels and it sounds really interesting! Let me know if you have a hard copy to send out.

    Hi Chris, I got your message about reviewing your novel about familial dysfunction. I like that genre. If you still want me too, let me know!
