Dear Naan and Maet,

Thank YOU for having me on your board, and for allowing me to meet your readers, who, thanks to you, some of which are now "my" readers.

I've had many reviews in the past - by some reviewers who enjoyed my books, and by some who didn't - but the two reviews you wrote just take my breath away. You captured so well both the story and my style of writing. One always wonders how a translated version is: I think Mondadori must have done a very good job translating CRY FOR PASSION. You summed up Rose and Jack perfectly.

I also want to thank all of you who took the time to translate readers' questions so that I could understand them, and then my answers. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be, translating first into English and then into Italian. And also, of course, I want to thank the readers on your board: I would not have been published in Italy without you!

I especially want to thank Maet, who has asked me the most interesting questions of any other interviewer, and who has taken such care to represent me as more than a "sex" writer: Baci ed abbracci.

My time with you has been interesting, indeed. Thank you! I hope to talk with you again in the near future.

Robin Schone
