I got this in my Facebook inbox this morning, from a buddy of mine. He and I met doing a production of Romeo & Juliet, and have since done a few more. He loved The Master Of Verona, and I knew last week he was closing in on the end of Falconer. Evidently he went right on to Fortune's Fool, because this is what he sent me:
RAT BASTARD!! Here I am, again, wide awake at 3 in the morning having devoured the last 200 pages of another one of your books. Seriously man, I've got to be up in a few hours.
Couldn't you just throw in a friendly disclaimer between paragraphs? e.g. ***SHIT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL. READ ACCORDINGLY***
Honestly, how does this start!? I already know what happens to the characters. Christ, I've died as a few of them!! Yet I can't help caring about them, I'm all tingly-pointy rushing to find out what happens next.
Have you no sense of decency? My heads all messed up. The next time I'm doing an R&J I might be compelled to save the youth of Verona. Stop the feuding and turn it into the biggest sunshine and rainbows, tea-party, ride off into the sunset, HAPPILY MOTHERFUCKING EVER AFTER cliche!!! The one I want for them and am hoping for EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN!!
I could keep going circles but in the interest of time and bandwidth I'll sum up:
Enjoyed the book. Well done.
Take my money. When can I get 'Prince's Doom'?
I hope you and the fam are well.
