I believe the people who get the most out of books are the ones who like being challenged once in a while. This is the perfect genre for it, too.<br /><br />I haven't completely given up on a sequel to <i>Mongrel</i>; I'm just in "wait and see" mode right now. Not sure why m/m romance readers prefer contemporaries, but that's how it is.<br /><br />By the way, thank you for all your kind words!K. Z.

I read in an ear...That's a shame about Mongrel. I read in an earlier blog post of yours that Mongrel seemed to have a quieter reception than most of your other work, which is unfortunate.<br /><br />Quite honestly, the fact that you write stories that are just so different is one of the reasons why you are an auto-buy for me. I know when I read one of your books I'm not going to get the same old same old boy meet boy story that is so rampant out there. You take your readers on these wonderfully unique journies, with these wonderfully unique characters, and the journey is always, if not more so, as intersting as the destination. I never know what to expect when I read something of yours. Your work is always well written, unique and quite often challenging. (Quite honestly, precious_boy was a difficult one for me.) That said, I ALWAYS enjoy the journey, and even if I don't always agree with something, I love the fact that you present it in such a way that the perspective is understandable. I LOVE being challenged as a reader, and you do that quite well. Again, your work is DIFFERENT, but that's what makes it so WONDERFUL.<br /><br />OK, I'll stop blathering now, but, um, yeah. Why wouldn't readers want of m/m want to embrace fantasy steampunk? Silly readers. I've reread Mongrel at least 4 times and it just gets better with each reread. =)<br /><br />BlueBlueSimplicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423325935796735316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677034.post-91828444516219060582011-02-24T23:23:46.721-06:002011-02-24T23:23:46.721-06:00Hi there, Blue!

I've been getting itchy lately (or they have) to bring them forward again.<br /><br />A sequel to <i>Mongrel</i> is still up in the air. I really enjoyed losing myself in those characters and their world, but I'm just not sure if enough readers in the m/m romance genre are willing to embrace fantasy steampunk.<br /><br />Thanks so much for commenting. Please come back again!K. Z.
