Congratulations! It must be so gratifying to see the fruition of a project you've worked hard on.

I read, adored and reviewed Casanegra for my blog, so I am very much looking forward to reading In the Night of the Heat.

Can't wait 'til it comes in the mail from Amazon!

I'll grab it next time I'm in a bookstore. Congrats. Lets hope the series gets popular

Also, I came across a review for this graphic novel in Boing Boing (a blog I read Incognegro. I thought you might be interested

One more thing - The mystery reviews editor at Publishers Weeks said he only got a copy of Casanegra, and didn't get this one.

You might want to talk to your publicist and see what happened.

Hi Steve!

I left a message on your wife's blog about "In the Night of the Heat". I already have my copy-i picked it up at Hueman Bookstore yesterday and I am halfway done already!

This book-so far-blows Casanegra away! I love the story line, the wittiness of Hardwick and the one liners! My favorites so far are: page 141 when Tennyson is in Melanie's apartment and he finds out Miss Nubian Princess is engaged to a white cat from Sussex. How he busts her chops was hilarious.

The next-where I'm up to now-is when Carlyle and crew finally show up at Ten's house and Ten's father is there ice grilling them. Then Carlyle says "what's wrong old school? You don't speak to guests?"

Great stuff! Would love to see this into some kind of film but I think it would get an NC 17 rating just on the sex scenes alone!

Go on with your bad self!

Oh and thank you for making the main female characters sistas. I read your acknowledgement and I agree, but I also must say we need more chocolate and dark skinned sistas represented as sexy leading ladies too. Blair needs to come back to us :)

Keep up the awesome work!
