I'm honoured to know people are reading something I wrote, really reading it, for pleasure or otherwise, and responding to it and discussing it and even "tearing it a new one", as they say. Literature is a dialogue, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The reader brings his or her experiences, pre-occupations, knowledge, and plain old tastes into the equation as well, creating something completely new that nobody can really predict. A lot like a child, you put a lot into your writing, trying to shape it a certain way, but ultimately your contribution only goes so far. It's been amazing reading all the reviews, talking shop on twitter with readers, and just seeing our story go out into the world for good or for ill. What an awesome couple of weeks it's been! "Cruce de Caminos" came out May 21st from Riptide Publishing, and we've been all over the web since, talking about the themes of the story, our writing process, and even a bit about our personal lives.
