I have become a fan of your blog for about 2 years now. It was introduced by a friend of mine who lives in LA. Generally I don\u2019t trust film critics, but I found an unpretentious opinion and style in your writing. I found myself going back to the blog over and over again, just to keep up with what\u2019s happening in the film world because obviously in this part of the world, we rarely get the non-blockbuster, mainstream, art-house\/indie type of flicks. \u2026<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The main reason I\u2019m writing is to congratulate you on The Auralia\u2019s Thread. It was a surprise to find <em>Auralia\u2019s Colors<\/em> in the book shelf of Singapore\u2019s BORDERS and when <em>Cyndere\u2019s Midnight<\/em> was released, I tried my luck only to find it, once again. It\u2019s amazing how powerful words can be; I probably wouldn\u2019t be able to sum up Auralia\u2019s stories in a few sentences but I sure can describe the visuals running through my head. It was as if your words are like the threads to the images of Auralia\u2019s world and once the images conjured up in your mind\u2026 they took over the words. Strange.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Have fun in your book tours, readings and other promotional obligations. I love Seattle, and how I wish I could go to one of your readings. It is a perfect city for hearing Auralia\u2019s adventures over a good cup of coffee. Thank you.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cynthia writes: Hello from hot and humid Singapore!
