Hello There
we've done pretty well in getting the Full Blood word out there so far this year. Having readers who like to share the treasures of the books they enjoy is something wonderful that I thank the heavens for everyday.
We've collected all the recent online stuff together should you wish to see what some good people out there are saying, and what I have to say for myself in response.
Full Blood now has its own Facebook Page, please stop by.

Great idea to do a round-up, John. Thank you for including my posts.
Wish I had thought to do this with 'Neruda's Memoirs: Poems".
Wishing you much continued success.
Hi Maureen
thank you, I just thought it would be good to bring stuff together in one place, have done it on my website too. You could do that for 'Neruda's Memoirs.'
The idea came about cos I know there are a couple of doctorate students out there studying my writing as part of their work, so I thought they, and other interested readers would find it beneficial if all this stuff was in one place.
I am honoured to have your review and essay in there. They mean so much to me, am intensely proud of them, and full of gratitude to you. quite honestly it is so important for us as writers to get good feedback in reviews and letters from our readers. Much too much criticism seeks to take the writer apart as if it is some kind of battle going on. Supporting things we honestly enjoy is a much better way, as you exemplify.
Kindest wishes
John
