Who I'd like to meet: writers, musicians, filmmakers, fashion designers, painters, photographers, poets, dancers, planet protectors, lovers of life and art. oh yeah, and my twin flame... or maybe i did
FINALLY watched Let The Right One In. Thanks for gushing so much about it, otherwise I would have never known about this awesome movie. I absolutely loved it. Pretty Dead and Wood Nymph are on their way to me right now. Can't wait. <3
i was finally able to hunt down, purchase, and devour 'pretty dead'. it was amazing, and i will scour the rest of new mexico to get all your books in my possession :D
First I just want to say, you are my favorite writer, if anyone asks, your name is first out of my mouth. I started reading your books way back in middle school and still love and own all my original copies to this day [Girl Goddess #9 is so worn out!]. If it wasn't for you, I may have never really gotten into writing, and that would be a shame, cause its my one true passion aside from music<3 I'm from New England, but I am moving to California next year to see what adventures life is gonna bring. Maybe if I am lucky, I'll even get to meet my favorite writer<3
just read the waters and the wild (loved it) and now I am rereading dangerous angels: the weetzie bat books I just wanted you to know you influence my life greatly and I feel like a great person when I read your great writing :) have a great day!
Hi Francesca, I'm reading "Guarding the Moon" while nursing my little baby-boy, my sweet cocoa-vampire ;) It's rare to read or even hear such honesty - thank you for that!!!
Hey Francesca... how have you been? Just wanted to tell you a little story. Well, I have a cousin (I was like her older sister growing up), but she lives in a very oppressive, closed-minded environment. She's very pretty, but doesn't see it... she has done acting and writing in her own college, yet her mother does not approve of her nor as she ever seen her plays, nor does she care. It's so sad... so, for her 21st birthday, I bought her a slew of your past books and sent it to her, hopefully she'll have her own Girl Goddess #9... just wanted to share this with yo. Take care!
i am almost done with pretty dead and i am loving it, i don't want it to end! i love your writing your books are so magical and i always feel happy when reading them even if you are writing about something sad.
