Thanks for reading and responding, and writing INK as well. You just made my day too

RE: INK EXCHANGE

Thank you. (Someone fwd-ed this to me, & I had to reply.) Readers who respond to INK with the response you just did are one of the reasons I’m glad I wrote it.

You called it, btw. Leslie isn’t me, but to give her a true voice meant tapping in to my own not-so-good emotions & memories. It’s important to me that echo of “been there” &, more importantly, “survived being there” is in the text. I wanted it to feel real.

So, well, thanks for reading it & for posting your response out here. You just made my day.

Melissa

The incest thing weirded me out as well, but its the same thing that happened in Star Wars. In fact the whole book is Star Wars with fantasy instead of sci-fi, but I wont split hairs, I still loved it! Haven’t read Blue Bloods yet, but I’ll ah… bump it down my list a bit, haha.

I’ve read the Mortal Instruments, and I enjoyed it greatly. What gets me is the incest thread running through it; I have the same issue with Melissa De La Cruz’s Blue Bloods series.

Love Melissa Marr to tiny little M.M shaped bits.
