Hi Michelle,

I was in the midst of a severe multi-year reading drought when I happened to pick up a copy of Dark Matter. I read it in less than two days – I couldn’t put it down! I then read Thin Air within one day and it unlocked something in me – thanks to you and your amazing books I’ve now ready 7 books so far in the space of three months, more than I’d read in the last three years. You’ve introduced me to a whole new genre that I never even considered before, and while I’m exploring other novels and authors, Thin Air remains my top favourite. I just wanted to say thank you!

Dear Lauren, a multi-year reading drought sounds nasty; I do feel for you – and I’m delighted that Dark Matter ended it!  It’s brilliant that you’re now back with books again, and that you’re exploring other authors – although of course I’m chuffed that your favourite remains Thin Air.  All power to your reading – and thanks so much for getting in touch!  With best wishes, Michelle
