I am a man who always have had a hard time relating to feminist theory and discourse. It struck me as too complicated, scary and too much self reflection necessary. But through the fantasy /sci fi angle of your novels, I finally got it. Through your art, I gained a deeper understanding of women's experiences and of humankind. Thank you so much for that.

Thank you for sharing your ideas with me as a reader and working so hard to create the wonderful books. My other favorite author is Orson Scott Card(similar writer in my eyes). Again, thank you!

Although I now have that empty sad feeling when a book you love so much is finished, the fact that you have written so many more for me to dive into has cheered me right up. Grass was so excellent; whenever I had to stop reading for such pesky things as eating and sleeping, I could almost imagine the characters, in the positions they were when I stopped, in suspended animation waiting for me to pick the book up again. I was anxious to get back to the book so I could 'see what they were doing', This only happens when a book has completely gripped me, so thankyou! I can't wait to explore your others... Dear Ms Tepper,

This morning the dreaded moment finally came, and I finished Grass.

Thank you so much for what you have written for us. Reading a Tepper story satisfies something in me like no other book by no other writer. Reading your stories has been like a master's class in wise living, a wise and practical spirituality. Your ideas have informed my own thinking immensely. I am truly sorry to think that Fish Tales may be your last work but I look forward to it with excitement. I have been able to locate several out of print books via Amazon. I read and reread them, always with pleasure and gainng new insight. From ape to angel is a long haul - no wonder we so often fail as human.

I was deeply moved by Marjorie's revelations after her 'fall' and the resultant self-emancipation. Of course many other things moved me as well but it was her journey to the godrealms which shifted the story onto another level for me. Thank you for voicing so poetically with compassion the victory of the power of love over the love of power. I will be continuing to read your works. I work with the healing properties of Colour and I see from this site you have some character involving colour. Sapphire Blue in the system I work with is to do with receiving inspiration. Which it is clear to me you are an inspired writer! Thank you for sharing your visions! in gratitude, Chetna Dear Ms. Teppart,

I have a feeling the second letter never made it to her (the first took 6 months or more to reach her) and wanted Ms Tepper I did in fact reply and very much appreciated her offer. If anyone has the opportunity to pass along this message, I am forever grateful.

A cloud of horror shadows everyday love and thoughtfulness, yet somehow ordinary honour, love and commitment shine through. As always, your work brings inspiration to every day. Grass was the first novel of yours I read, and periodically it still grabs me by the back of the neck and shakes me. That message about being possessed, so prevalent in your work, seems to be echoed in so many ways in the world. Your books continue to inspire me to stay awake, un-possessed, and kind. It is a way, a thoughtfulness, a kindness. Thank you so much for all your writing. The Waters Rising – yet another example of your evocative and powerful writing.
