Wait, I get paid tomorrow :). Which reminds me, book slut that I am, I've already spent the spoils of the last contest: Sunshine (McKinley!) and Blood and Chocolate, among others, will be in my grubby hands very soon. Yay! jk - I have very clean hands. I wanna buy this so bad - why did I go clothes crazy this morning? Wait, I get paid tomorrow :) .

It's funny, today as I was leaving work I was wondering what Annie would review this Thursday, and if she would ever review <i>Dead to the World.</i> Then I told myself that if she gave it an F, at least I would get a thoughtful critique as consolation. Other reviewers have commented on the indifference and slavery aspect, but Annie is the only one so far who's even halfway warned readers that it gets ugly--though I notice she didn't use the "R" word. There won't be another book until June, and then August. Thanks, Wylie.

In writing this book, I looked at real-life victims of the sex slave trade in Eastern Europe and the psychological conditioning they endure. Still, it remains my most problematic text, mostly because of its length, and I wish I had the opportunity to go back and edit a bit more intensely. I have to keep telling myself to let it go, but typos always nag at me. I found Maia to be very one-dimensional, and was really more interested in the characters around her, like Occula.

The book did resonate with me in a similar way, but honestly, Erred is a stronger, more interesting hero than Maia was a heroine. Yes, I saw Sencho in Satu.

Yes, I've read that book and still have it on my shelf. This is a book readers either love or hate. I originally wrote it to be posted in installments over at Adult FanFiction.net, and with each installment purposely deviated from what readers were expecting, so no sweet Stockholm syndrome love plot there.
