I loved this book. Thank you for writing such a gracious review. Now help me convince Tamara to write Theo’s story next. ;-D

I started writing a fantasy romance adventure sort of novel last year and I’m alternating work on it with a gay historical romance I started last week. Thanks very much for asking.:)

While I have this moment, I’d like to say a public thank you to the people who were instrumental in helping me finish Whistling and find a home for it (and reaching venues like Dear Author where it could find more readers). Robyn Thurman, Storm Grant, Lorraine Brevig, Ann Somerville, Val Kovalin, Erastes, Charlie Cochrane, and my publisher Steve Berman — they all went above and beyond in their support. I can’t think of a nicer, more generous group of people for a writer to know.

Blech, I hope the credit card issue gets straightened out quickly. Do you have any works in progress for us to look forward to?

Dear Jayne,

Thank you so much for the very gorgeous and insightful review. (I’m sorry I didn’t have the chance to thank you yesterday. My son is overseas for a semester and lost his bank card so we’ve been sorting that out.)

I’m hugely grateful to you for buying an earlier copy of the book. I’d like to let everyone know that the proceeds from the sale of the book will go to fund leukemia research.

DA’s review has already improved sales. Thank you, Jayne.

Very good review, Jayne.

### I think this is an m/m book that even people who don’t think they’d like m/m would enjoy. ###

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!

from what I’ve heard about this book, and from the snippets I’ve read, I think Ms Allen will go far.

I think – and hope – she will also. It’s a very polished first book.

I got my copy in the post this week, and I can’t wait to read it. An excellent review and a wonderful addition to the genre, from what I’ve heard about this book, and from the snippets I’ve read, I think Ms Allen will go far.
