'lo Dom,
Long time reader... I found you when you were in the midst of your extended leave in fact. I'd like to say that's why I never emailed but like so many others with anything online we look for instant gratification in all its forms and then drift back away to the 'real' world.
So let me just say your awesome.
Your characters are awesome, your stories are awesome, your blogs awesome.
Seriously I cannot count the hours I have spent reading your work, I must have read the log way, desert dropping and the ordinary us 3x at least and everytime I love them. I love how you did a sequel to the log way and yet made it brand new. I go crazy waiting to see what happens between Taylor and Luke, not just because i see more of myself in Taylor than I want too... but because their world just seems to work somehow.
The Other Side of Me seemed to be very different to me, there were elements of horror and suspense that just blew me away. Whilst I will say I loved other stories more, that one was the one that truly had me on the edge of the seat and actually nervous at times to continue reading.
With Trust I re-read when you released chapter 12 and once again captured me and ate into the hours of my day without me even realising. (Spell check says that should be a z, but im English damn it and patriotism stands for something.)
On a personal level, thank you. I found your stories when I had a lot of shit in my head and they were to an extent an escape, to see Quinn running from, and to, Jude. Rory bitching about EVERYTHING and Owens 'new' family just gave me a break and it really really helped.
For every negative email I guess you get 20x as many positive ones. And for every email from every fan there must be at least a dozen who will never say thanks. They will read and they will go away happy and back to their lives a bit more upbeat, maybe a little bit different and maybe even happier with who they are. That's the greatest reward you could ever give anyone and no email can take that away.

p.s. chapter 13 yay
