Hi Teresa,

Absolutely love your books, I mean to the point where I visited nearly all the public libraries in San Francisco in the late 90s trying to find The Gnome's Engine and scoured used book stores having gotten hooked/entranced with your Child of Saturn series while in high school. I was thrilled to see you had a new book last year (The Hidden Stars) and patiently waited until I accomplished something to read it (a couple chapters of my dissertation if I recall). Minor breakdown when I realized I'd have to wait a year for the next installment (but I had all your other books as consolation). This time, I waited until I finished teaching my first college semester before reading A Dark Sacrifice to enjoy the thrill of a new book by one of my favorite authors, un-interrupted, guilt free. So good. Exquisite agonies to know it'll be a while until the next book, but I love re-reading all your passages! I wish I had the fiery passion of your characters! Congratulations on another beautiful addition!
