As a general rule, I don't e-mail authors unless I've seen something factually wrong or morally upsetting. Your book has neither of these things -- on the contrary, from the little I know you seem to have a fantastic grasp on the magickal world (as I said in my review), and I didn't find anything offensive. As I said before, your plots are good. If you'd like me to contact you by email outside of this post I can do so, but I'd like to at least post this apology publicly.
Since you're posting on my journal, I would love to re-pose the question I semi-asked in my review: do you have any personal religious/spiritual beliefs that might have given you a background in magick, or is it simply good research?
I'm not used to famous authors searching the internet for no-name reviews like mine tucked away on an obscure journal, so I didn't think it was important enough that you should even care what I had to say. I should have been clued in by your December 26 post that you take your fans (and not just professional critics) very seriously and personally, and I'll remember what you've said to me when reviewing other books.
Once again, I would sincerely like to apologize for hurting you, and I hope that you'll accept my apology.
