Firstly, I think it is irresponsible for someone to commit to an interview and just blow it off (it is an honor), secondly, I think it is good of you to follow it up. Finally, chuck them off, its their lost, for your column is new to me, but I do follow when you host a Posse member. I am impressed. I will be looking over your page to subscribe, you are doing a bang-up fantastic job here. Hey, maybe one day you'll have reason to honor me with an interview. Currently, I'm just a workin stiff, whose tryin to write something (lol). See you soon. Augie Leila, I just read your email to Sunny Frazier that was passed on to her Posse.

I really appreciate the giveaways, too! I've decided to e-publish a Christmas-themed short story this December, "Saint Nick and the Fir Tree." I don't know if that's something you'd be interested in reviewing, but if it is let me know. I usually write mysteries, and though this is really more urban fantasy, there's also a little mystery twist near the end. Thanks! Nancy Hi Leila,

Very sorry to see your store close, but I am glad I still get to read your reviews as well as those of your friends. I've been following your recommendations since we first met at Bouchercon in D.C. Good luck in your new venture. Your friend in Iowa Lelia

Far too many small press authors don't seem to understand that this is a symbiotic relationship and we need each other. Thank you! Dear Danika,

I’m sure I speak for independent bookstores everywhere when I say I truly appreciate this. Far too many small press authors don’t seem to understand that this is a symbiotic relationship and we need each other.

Thank you!

This makes me sad... I'm starting to campaign for indie bookstores more and more these days. As a matter of fact, I'm doing a book tour this spring and ONLY going to indie bookstores. If I had lived in Richmond, VA I'm sure I would have loved your store. (I also see you had cataract surgery.. I just went thru the same thing 4 years ago. hope you are adjusting and all went well) Hi Lelia,
