Thanks a bunch!

You're quite welcome! No one deserves it more.

When is your next book due out?

Your words warm my heart!

Army of the Dead, the 8th and final volume of the Forgotten Legacy series is being released today. That makes it a rather hectic day around here as everyone rushes around to make sure everything is set.

The joy of getting to the end of this series is tempered a bit by realizing that these characters that we have come to know so well will be nothing more than a distant memory soon.

Thanks again for the vote. I don't know if there is any chance of winning this thing, but I thank you for giving it a try.

Come on, fellow Freepers . . . we can do better than 13th place, can't we? Let's give Marak a boost all the way up to #1!

Your vote for Elvangar will help.

Thanks a bunch!

"I love your books"

You can't imagine how much those words mean to an author.

I thank you for both your vote and your readership.

So you want us to vote for something we haven't read? I don't understand.

That is not the intent of ILoveUSA. She knows that many of my readers are also Freepers, as she is, and she is urging them to vote in the poll. If you aren't a reader, pay it no mind.

Seem to be stuck at number 7.
The book by the tarot card guy is zooming up the charts.

Oh, I do so hope we can get more help from the freepers here. Your books are so much better than that and especially for the young people!

That's one of the things I like about your books . . . they teach good moral values.

Only 3 more days to go now.

Lots of luck, Marak.

How exciting! I hope our freeper friends will really come to the rescue and take you over the top in the next two days!

I never did read that many fantasy novels until I came across yours. You certainly changed my reading habits and if you gain the recognition you deserve we may be seeing your stories on the big screen some day. You're better than Harry Potter and in the same realm as The Lord of the Rings, IMO.

BTW, if I purchase your new book will you autograph it for me?

Thank you for your kind words. I have found that many of my fans are indeed not fantasy readers at all. They have picked up one of my books as the result of a friend's recommendation and ended up addicted. I am glad that those outside the genre are pleased with what I have written. It inspires me to write more.

I would be happy to autograph your books. If you order the book from my homepage, just add a note asking for a signed copy. If you purchase the book elsewhere, send me an email and I will arrange to autograph it for you.

Found these reviews at http://elfbooks.com/

"Sapphire of the Fairies, in my opinion, is another writing success for Richard S. Tuttle, who I believe is one of this century's leading authors of innovative fantasy tales." Patricia Spork, eBook Reviews Weekly

"...a must read for those who enjoy 'other world' and fantastical characters presented in a plausible manner by a skilful weaver of tales." Molly Martin, Reviews by Molly

Not bad, not bad! Hope you'll get all the recognition you deserve.

We have been thrilled with the reviews my books have received. They help when readers want to take a chance on an author that is not published by one of the big firms. The nice thing about the internet is that people are talking to others around the world and when they find something good they always like to share it.
