I just love your Charlie Davidson books, they are an automatic buy for me. The humour, the romance, the *hotness* of Reyes, Charlie's wise cracks, the side characters - can't wait for the next book!

I thrive when a new book comes out, and whine till the next one comes out. TODAY, on a day that was full of tears, funeral plans being made... you wrote me back a simple little text on Facebook and I found a smile. <3 Thank you so much.

I have been rereading the series because it is my "mac and cheese" type of book that I can read just to make me feel better when I was sitting at the hospital.

I always get chills reading your books! Then comes the anxiety as the book starts end. Sometimes I have to force myself to do something else just so I know that I have something to come back to! It's like I'm waging a psychological warfare against your book...of course I never win. That's cause you have Reyes on your side (*sighhhh*) and that funny shit that Charlie always seems to spout. Thank you ever so much.

Hm, I see there are plenty of fan comments down there. Lot's of them are some pretty good messages, and lot's of people have been reading your books since you started writing, which is an impressive feat.

Anyways, just thought I'd drop by to go ahead and let you know I'm psyched to read the fourth Charley Davidson book. I actually only started the series two days ago, and I'll be honest. I finished all three . .. couldn't put them down. But that's okay, because apparently I have a lot of free time, or something like that. But yeah, gotta give you props, that's for sure. This was the first adult series I've ever read, and it's one of the best series I've ever read. So I'm hoping that the next book comes out quicker than I have a feeling it will seem. (A month is a long time to wait . . . )

Oh yeah, and one more thing. Givin' a shout out to the Land of Enchantment! I really miss the weather there . . . Ohio's weather sucks . . .

Thank you, Samantha! The shoes are real, but they are VERY expensive and are sold out everywhere. (I tried, lol.) They are designer Alexander McQueens. I would kill to have a pair!

I was wondering (and you have probably answered this a trillion times) if the sandals depicted on the cover of the first book are available retail...I would LOVE to get a pair of those! Aside from that I have to say I adore your books and that my sister is starting book 1 on audio this week- she will be thanking me for that little nudge. :-) Thanks for the add and have a good one!

Hey Darynda,

Okay, so I read all 4 released books of your Charley Davidson series and I am in LOVE. 8->

So umm... why don't you go ahead and release the next book of the series a bit sooner cuz..:-s OMG 2013 is like light-years away and my parents used to call me an impatient brat when I was little and now they are complaining that I'll never grow up. But I assure you ma'am it's not my fault that I can't wait for the next book, it's entirely yours and Charlie's only.

The main fact that keeps me enthralled in your books is that they are awfully funny. No soul can pour laughter into books like that without being humorous-to-no-end themselves. (I think I'm going to move in next to you in your neighbourhood, you know being the friendly-stalking-neighbour-chick and all....cuz I can use as much as hilarious chitchat right about now.)

You know how to maintain the standard of the book - always better than the previous - without disappointing the readers.
Sadly enough it is a fact where most writers go wrong. They start with a spark and a story full of potential only to let it die a shameful death in the sequel.
But 'Charley Davidson' is a story started with a flame and going on full swing in becoming an inferno throughout the whole series. I have nothing but elevated expectations for the next book.

The fact that your books are extremely hard to predict is official now. They keep me constantly observant and calculating odds to foresee what comes next only to jump into skewed conclusions ending up flabbergasted. (Oh man.. I so wanted to use that word in a review or a letter or in any written format.. :D). Because I believe I am really good at predicting ends (Don’t take me lightly cuz I truly am and nope I am not bragging… :D …okay maybe a little bit…) and you leave me out of breath in each and every ending of your stories.
Even if endings of some books of certain writers are hard to foretell at first, when you get attuned to their way of thinking after couple of books or so, you can easily guess what comes next. But the way your mind works my dear lady is still a mystery to me...which is quite refreshing actually; cuz too much perception on how a story is going to end only after reading halfway through a book, leaves me utterly bored and when they become too conventional I stop reading further all together.

So anyway...by leaving you this short message (ahem!), I wanted to let you know that I am so impressed in your writing skills. So I decided to become your eternal fan which is short for I-will-read-whatever-you-write. So hurry up and write some more.

Sincere stalking eternal fan,
Suki

Hey Ms.Darynda,

Thanks for accepting my friend request. Today I started reading the first book of your 'Charley Davidson' series and already in love with the story!!!
It is different than the other paranormal romance/ urban fantasy books I've read, in a refreshing way.

Also the book is hilarious I sometimes read the same phrase few times just so I can laugh again and again.
There are fantastic writers out there but not everyone can make the readers laugh like you do.
You are a brilliant writer so I'm planning to read every series you write. (I'm totally looking forward for the 'Darklight' series.)

Please write more and more.
Sincere brand new fan,
Suki
