[quote comment="59"]Dear Paulo,

You speak the voice of hearts.
The hearts of common people.
Their feeling, their thouhts, their sorrows and their beliefs…..
Thus there is clarity in the narration.
That is why we Indians love you very much.

And, waiting for the book is really painful!

Dear Paulo,

this is interesting. It looks like people coping with the loss of a loved one. There is always hope that this will provide some meaning into their lives, but I believe the world is usually darker than that.

Anyway, makes me think, so far – as I said, interesting.

Love,
Katerina.

Hi Paulo,

This is such an interesting (and exciting) prospect. We can now communicate and relate directly with authors whose reading we enjoy and learn from. This could never have been imagined only decades ago. Now, we have this new phenomenon-being able to read from a novel on a blog before it’s even been published-and we can comment on the writing directly with the owner of the ‘pen’.

I am just another humble human who has read all of your books that I could get my hands on-ten I think. When I was in Costa Rica last year I saw a girl reading Brida-in Spanish of course. Has this book also been published in English (I am in Australia)? What is ‘Like the Flowing River? I haven’t seen that text here…

I have written about you in a couple of articles/posts over the years. At: click in my name.
you can read my latest discussion on this new writing paradigm-the online novel. Of course we already have e-books and audiobooks, but this interactive media approach to story writing (with readers able to comment) takes things to another level completely.

Don’t believe the critics. I know so many people who have loved the stories that flowed through the instrument of your body.

Peace,
Jesse

P.S. Imagine being able to comment directly to Rumi, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or Ernest Hemingway…The world is changing my friends.

Just brilliant!
I was just going to read the beginning of chapter 1 and then back to bed and read the rest tomorrow. I couldn’t take my eyes of the screen until ch. 2 was finished! And today comes ch. 3, yey!:)

I’ve read a few of your books and can’t wait to read the rest! Including this one!
I have a few more of your books to finish before this one is out, so I’m just thrilled right now! Write ‘em fast so I never run out of your books:)

You have changed my life, I’m sure of it!
Thank you so much!

Dear Paolo,
I just started to translate the first two chapters into German (for my own private purposes)… and I will carry on as the chapters come in. It grasped me completely!
Why I did that? ….. First of all I think there is no better way of getting fully into the essence – spirit – and vibrations of your writing.
Two: Having worked as a professional translator for many years – it gives me a special thrill to do this.
Three: It will be interesting for me to compare my “private version” with the “official version” once the book will be released on the German speaking market.

Don´t worry – this is no copyright-violation – as I keep the translation strictly to myself. Maybe I allow some very close friends to read it as well – but that´s all.
I hope you don´t have anything against it.

One of your readers wrote in a comment – that the original version is more comprehensive than the English one…. what a shame….. why is that …. since every word of yours is so precious to us.

Thank you Paolo. Take care.
Love
Monica

Many people will recognise the statements in the first and second chapter. Some people will feel like a victim, others as a perpetrator. Some people want to be guided, some whant to guide, others want te be independent, although it is almost impossible to be completely independent.
Waiting for more,

Kind regards to everyone

The first chapter is good, (very artistical)
the second one even better – it gives me a taste of reality,
of a bite directly from todays New Age-world and I like the
second caracters more critical approach in compare/balance with
the first one. It will be interesting to read the others.

Wow,

I did not think that the new book would be so dark and interesting.

The book is out in hard back in Ireland next month.

Funny, I wrote about a Vampire in the blog and only read this today.;

There is a program called Mosthaunted Live on living TV. They went to Dracula’s Castle last weekend to find his soul. Turns out he never lived there and his soul is not there either, however dark spirits walk within and they found out that he was there for some of his childhood and in later life was in prison for a short period.

While watching the program myself and Solveigh my girlfreind heard a loud bang and the TV switched off by itself. We went to the noise..the dishwasher had gone on fire!!
