Comments on: Do you have a message for Sheri S. Tepper? http://sheri-s-tepper.com/2010/12/hello-world/ A website dedicated to Sheri Tepper's works...

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.

I hope that at some point, the Revenants will be reissued, at least as an ebook, so that I can share with many of the people I know some of the things that that book showed me without endangering my worn, dog-eared copy. Please consider reprinting this book.

I am currently working on a paper for my ‘Literature and Politics’ module. I would like to compare your novel, The Gate to Women’s Country, with Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Perhaps, you can tell me what you think of Atwood’s novel? Do you see any connections like similarities or differences between both novels? Thanks! Dear Sheri

I would be remiss if I did not admit that it changed my life. I have read a lot of books and loved many of them, but none have moved me the way your writing has. As of writing this I have nearly all of your works though I am still working on some of the older texts. Currently I am getting caught up in my reading and am completely enjoying The Fresco. It, as with all of your works, resonates so strongly with me. I fell so in love with Jinian and the True Game setting that I named my daughter Jinian. I can hardly wait until she is old enough to enjoy her namesake books. Thank you dearly for what you have brought and continue to bring to my life. I recommend your works every chance I get. Sincerely, Sherry Parker, Tigard, Oregon Dear Sheri,

I've been an avid fan and reader of all your wonderful, imaginative, thought-inducing books ever since *esp. loved The Family Tree*. Thank you for being such a creative force and voice for the past 50+ years. Your books have been invaluable in understanding and exploring gender roles and celebrating the natural world and all the wonderful beings within, and for being a feminist-icon for this GenX'er! I wish you much joy and contentment in your retirement - you will be sorely missed...but I have a big shelf dedicated to your works, and you are one of my favorite authors for gifting kindred (and not-so-kindred/in need of enlightenment..heheh!) souls. Thank you, Kate, Ann Arbor, Michigan Dear Sheri,

These would at least let us read them? What would move them to do this? I have read everything in print, and collected many out of print, including your mysteries. I would love to complete my expereince by reading the rest. Love it! Joanne McDowall Dear Sheri

Tepper! The first book I read was Grass. I found this book in my mothers hall closet. It was loaned by my Aunt. I subsequently move to another state and didn't finish the novel. 3 years later, I ended up moving back home with my mother. I found the book exactly where I had left it, and was able to finally finish it. I've read it 3 times since then, and own all of your fantasy/sci-fi books even the rare and hard to find. You are by far my favorite author, the only author I have ever collected. As I was reading Marianne, the Matchbox & the Malachite Mouse, the one character I would have love to read more of was Queen Buttercup and her world. Very intriguing. I appreciate all of your characters, especially the characters that have more to offer than they believe they do. Thank you so much for the many wonderful hours of getting to know you through your stories. Please please know how much you are appreciated.

They are beautifully written and imagined, of course, and they chime with my imagination in a way that no other stories do. At the moment I'm going back to your earlier books, but like one of the people above have discovered that some of them are like hen's teeth and really expensive - shame on the publisher not to re-issue them. (Reading The Revenants at the moment - brilliant characters against a terrifying enemy - unputdownable!) Very best wishes to you and thanks again. Michael, Hampshire, England Dear Sheri,

I must have read your books severla times and I'm still searching for the few I don't have. Thank you for so many hours of sheer pleasure. To have an author who treats her readers as thinking human being is so valuable. Your wit and philosophical explorations will be missed. Thank you so much. Hi
