Amanda asked Chelsea Cain:

This isn't much of a question but I want you to know that your books are the only things keeping me a bit of sane right now. My two month old niece passed on yesterday. It all keeps running through my head. When i open your books though, those thoughts go away for the time of reading. Thank you for your literature, you are a brilliant person!

Sarina Jean asked Chelsea Cain:

Other than purchasing your books, how else can us die hard Chelsea fans support our favorite author?

Rick Soper
Rick Soper asked Chelsea Cain:

Welcome to Goodreads! I'm a big fan of your books and talk about them often here in various groups. I saw over on Facebook that you said this was the new means by which you'd like to communicate with the public, but had yet to get many messages, so I thought I'd write you one, say I'm looking forward to One Kick, and ask if you had any advice for a lowly little independent author?
