    Thought I'd let you know. I'm a huuge horror fan and I was skimming most of the movies on Netflix when I came across one that mentioned the Danver's state mental hospital and clicked on it. Since I read your book Project 17, I became fascinated with the scenario of the place. And for the record, that was the only book I've ever read that made me scared to go to bed. Anyhow, I believe it might of had real footage of the place before it was torn down, either that or they created a replica for the movie. Low budget film but I was so into watching it. It was called Section 9. Anyhow, I was so bummed that it was only just for DVD and not to watch on PC. I figured it was worth mentioning to you since I wouldn't have known about it without your book.

    Btw, I've read all your books and BIFN totally inspired me to start writing fantasy novels of my own with a modern twist. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. :D

    I bout Black is for Beginnings at 2pm today. I finished it at 4:30. It was great. I'm glad you tried a graphic novel, but it was hard because I guess I saw the characters a little differently. I felt like I was wrong when I saw their faces. lol.

    It was good to have so many loose ends tied up. Now that books is on my shelf with ALL of your other released books. Off to make my playlist for the contest. Thanks for writing such a wonderful series. I look forward to the touch series. =)

    I thought Black for Beginnings was good :D I really liked it.I wish you would right another in the BIFN series. And if they could make a movie out of it, that would be amazing. I had to re read all the books before black and my friend had to hide it from me so I wouldn't peek. Lol. It was worth it :D:D

    I should let you know that since you call-in all your books have disappeared from our shelves. Also, I really am finally used to the book trailers. When I first heard about the concept I was tenative but it seems to be another way to reach a wider audience who may not read VOYA or School Library Journal. I still tend to find new books the old fashion way: by skimming through all the shelves.
