  1. Dear Eros, You write fun fanfic! Since you liked the Sookie novels, I'd like to offer you a free copy of my paranormal novel, "I Know How You Feel: The Sensate" in exchange for an honest review. Would you be interested? I workshopped "I Know How You Feel: The Sensate" on the Online Writing Website for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, where it won an Editor's Choice Award from C.C. Finlay, who became the editor of the prestigious Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine about a year later. Please note that it contains explict sexual scenes. Thank you for your time. There is a sample available. Just click on the book cover on my website at NicoleMinsk.com
