Dave,

After a hectic couple of weeks I finally sat down and finished Kabuki Circle of Blood, and, of course, enjoyed it tremendously.  I'm not sure that I can add to any of the praise that was already there.  I do have a few questions though...
1.  When you did the Echo sketch for me it was all brushwork.  How much of CoB was done as brushstroke, and how much by pencil and ink?
2.  I truly enjoyed your use of music to set a tone.  This is something that I have tried in my writing from time to time.  Was this something where you heard the songs and then incorporated them, or did you go seatching for particular songs that fit those scenes?  And does this show up again?
3.   I noticed that in the last few chapters, you ended with a handprint (which seems to be something of a theme for you), that dedicated the story to your late mother.  Many times I have read of authors being in the middle of writing a story when something happens that affects and changes their original plan.  So this question is only if your mother passed during your writing, but if so, how much did that affect your plans for ending the series?

Looking forward to reading Skin Deep.

Thanks,
Sam

Easy El  :D

I was wondering, did you have the Hardcover ???

I'm trying to find out if the lettering is bigger in the Hardcovers.  Cause the small lettering is the one thing stopping me finishing Circle of Blood .

No I did not have the hardcover.  The edition I had also had some lettering issues in that it was faded on some page.

Thanks Sam  :D

I think I'm just gonna take a leap of faith and pick up the Hardcovers.
I really don't want to miss out on these stories y'know.

Go for it Trauma, you certainly don't want to let small lettering problems keep you from reading these stories.

Hey :)
Sorry for the delay.  I've been meaning to answer them in detail.
After I complete my work commitments today, I'll try to answer them in detail in the middle of the night.

THanks for reading.
Best,
David
