 Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 5:15 pm Post subject: *** EXCLUSIVE: Letter from Grant Cooperon, Part 1 *** |
 |
|
It's the Summer of Marjorie M. Liu!
Who else do you know who can write suspenseful urban fantasy, timeless paranormal romance stories, and kick-ass action in comic-books--all at the same time? Oh yeah, and she's also a lawyer!
Since Marjorie's got so many fans out there across different genres, she thought she'd give you a little treat with a special letter that comes out of her urban fantasy Hunter Kiss series. It's a letter you won't be able to find in any of the books--instead it will be posted in four different sections on a few different websites starting today.
Marjorie says of the special letter -- from the desk of Grant Cooperon to be only opened by his daughter: "I'm excited about this promotion because I love being able to reach out to you, my fans-- in person at romance conventions, or ComicCon, or online through my blog or twitter. This summer is a busy one for me because I've got the new DARK WOLVERINE series and the special NYX: NO WAY HOME collection, both from Marvel, coming out in the next two weeks, followed by DARKNESS CALLS on June 30 and THE FIRE KING at the end of July. I'd love to get all my characters at the same 4th of July BBQ and see what happens...but that's not in this letter!"
Check out part one of the letter right here at RT Book Reviews:

Guess whose voice is in the audio version. 
Part two will be up starting June 15 at Tor.com and part three starting June 22 at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. Stay tuned to learn where the complete letter will be posted on June 29!
Rob

Dear Marjorie (by the way, should I call you Marjorie or Ms. Liu? Just curious as you are older than me and I don't want to sound disrespectful by calling you by your first name. I'm also from a half-Asian background.)
Anyway, this letter is awesome. I don't know how you do it. You are truly amazing and it is a pleasure and honor to be able to read your work. |

Thank you. I hope you like the next three parts, once they're up. Father's Day will be here soon, as well, and I thought it fit nicely that Grant would be thinking of the future, of the child he might one day have with Maxine. |

Below is a text version of Grant Cooperon's letter, part one of four. The graphical version and audio version are posted above in my first post.
Part two of Grant's letter is on Tor.com.
- - -
To my darling daughter,
You do not know me. Maybe you never will. You do not exist yet, but you are coming. You are part of me already.
I am going to be your father.
Maybe that is presumptuous of me, but in this I can be bold. I have no alternative left but certainty. I love your mother. I will always love her. Not with blind eyes, but with truth.
Because I can see her soul.
A long story, another letter. Maybe you will have the same gift. Maybe it would be better if you did not. It can be a burden, knowing the truth about people. Always seeing the truth, and the darkness.
You learn about yourself when you see the darkness. You learn what you can tolerate and what you can forgive, and what you cannot. You learn how dark your own heart is when you see the darkness in others, and you learn how strong your light can be, when confronted with the endlessness of human suffering. Everyone, baby, feels alone. Everyone aches for kindness.
