Thistledown

   I have improved the formatting of Thistledown for Kindle and Nook and since I just painted a large pastel of a unicorn, I’m going to add a new cover by Teddi Black. We plan to have new, really cool promotional bookmarks ready for the Bridgewater BookFest on September 14th.

   I still believe in my heart that Thistledown can find traditional YA publication—even in these days of teen vamps, were-everythings, avatars and Game of Thrones wannabes, there is room for the kind of Fantasy that led me into the field in the first place. (And let me just say here, I am a huge Game of Thrones fan—the books, and the HBO series, not entirely the same critter at all, no indeed. Books, always give the fuller experience. TV can rise and fall on the casting and costumes.) Not every reader likes to read the same thing

Ms. Dexter,
I just recently had picked up a copy of Once Upon a Time from a used book seller in Portville, NY.
It was one of Lester Del Rey's last collections before his retirement then untimely passing.
For my first experience with you as an author, I must say BRAVO, to the short story you added there, it was one of my favorites of the collections of stories and it touched my heart.
Most of my experience has been with some of the older authors, some no longer with us, such as Del Rey, Asimov, Cherryh, McCaffrey, Fiest, Jordan, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Lumley, John Norman, Anne Rice, Clive Barker, Roger Zelazny, Marrion Zimmer Bradley, Stephan King, Philip Jose Farmer, Tolkien and Piers Anthony.
This novella was as much a pleasure to read as many of the others in my small collection.
I look forward to reading other novels you have written and thank you for your contribution as an author, this novella was a true gem and I am better off for coming across it.
Best wishes from a Northwestern PA reader.
Charles
