“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Yay for Kinslayer!
Thanks Mr. Kristoff for creating such a unique and intriguing world for us all to play in. I see so much potential adventure in it.

Thank you for being my friend here on Goodreads. I am really looking forward to reading and discovering your work, as it is of much interest to me (being an avid reader of fantasy).
Kind Regards

Depending where you live, that mmmmmay be illegal."
Hmmm. We can elope to India or somewhere. But I'm guessing that you and the sun aren't on best terms so... Sri Lanka? Or Turkey? Their tea is FAB.

I was wondering if your books will be available on the kindle. Amazon said it is, but then changed that...?"
Yeah it's still available in E-edition, for sure. Amazon is playing silly-buggers.

I'm 99% sure it will be up and available on the second week of July. Thanks for the stalking though, I appreciate it :D
![Barbara (VampAngel)](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1518910440p1/3902029.jpg)
Otherwise, I'm stuck at checking it everyday like a stalker. I confess I've been doing that.

![Jay Kristoff](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1296449592p1/4901961.jpg)
And can't wait for your book. Also, the US cover is going to be revealed this week, correct?
Looking forward to chatting with you."
Whops, sorry I missed this. Cover was revealled on the 18th, but I see you already saw it :D Really glad you like it!

It's the Gothic creepy buildings, usually with towers and gargoyles of some sort, where people go to prey. Or as my grandma likes to call it 'cleansing their souls' to the one above that might not even be there. I certainly do not give a flying banana about cleansing my soul. I know it's clean (actually no, it's rotten and dirty).
![Emilija](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1674311353p1/4460175.jpg)
Ok, you're the same age as me, but this shows how much my mind is f*ucked up because that is not what I think about stripper flavoured champagne.
...

I feel like going to church, but I'm scared I'll start burning in the doorway.
![Mel (who is deeply in love with herself)](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1353763955p1/3811037.jpg)
Okay. Stripper-flavoured champagne? Yummy. Sounds very...saucy. Me wantz it! Naow!
Also, lollipops? Hell yeah! I want me some lollipops!
(Bonus points if they are strangely shaped and taste of chocolate...)
![Emilija](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1674311353p1/4460175.jpg)
Stripper falvoured champagne?
The mental picture I have is horrendous, but so amusing.
Now, when I'll open the book I'll be expecting somebody to jump out and offer me some of that champagne.
Now that would be something.
![Jay Kristoff](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1296449592p1/4901961.jpg)
Is that crushed dreams, failed potential, lost hope and sweaty pervert flavour then?"
...good point, well made.
![Jay Kristoff](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1296449592p1/4901961.jpg)
I have indeed heard that before. But it's okay - it happens so often it's kinda funny now. :)
And you're welcome! Thanks for asking. Really glad you like the sound of the book, I hope it lives up to all your hopes and dreams and transports you to a magical faraway land full of sunshine, lolly pops and stripper flavored champagne.
...or maybe not. :)
![Mel (who is deeply in love with herself)](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1353763955p1/3811037.jpg)
At least now I can brag that I am friends with a David Grohl look-alike. *in dramatic voice* My "claim to fame"!
Ummm. *thinks of what she was supposed to say*
...
...
Oh yeah! Thanks for accepting. That's what I originally came on your profile for, before I got sidetracked by your image....you know, your book sounds fabulously fabulous (see what I did thair?), and I canNOT wait to read it. Well, I can, obviously, but I mean that I dont want to.
Anyway...I bet you're regretting friending me already!
![Jay Kristoff](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.gr-assets.com/users/1296449592p1/4901961.jpg)
Bwahahahaa!

Thankfully, I happened to be listening to the Foo Fighters just as I read this, and they seem to have thwarted the power of Europe.
Must be like rock paper scissors. Rawk beats Hair Metal, apparently.

I know it's not something a mature author-y type person should admit to, but most of my Japanese influence comes from all the manga I read as a kid. :)
Happy Birthday and thanks to you and Amie for such amazing work.
