Love the titles of your books. And yes, gated with the mailroom is wonderful, just know that using that address it will be clear you live there. The other option is simply not having a snail mail. It's not really necessary anymore but because I'm married to a judge we are both pretty cautious especially after my first experience.

Thank you taking a look, Denise. Have a great thanksgiving.

Do tell me more about the virtual PO Boxes!

Dang it! Wouldn't that be awesome? I wrote a futuristic story set on the moon for an NYC Midnight contest, and the research was fascinating.

I thought so too, Denise!

Thanks!

Pride's Children: PURGATORY and NETHERWORLD are the first two parts of a mainstream contemporary literary trilogy, a single story; I'm working to finish LIMBO.

I do live in a protected community - with a mailroom and a 24/7 Front Desk - so probably won't need a PO Box, but will bear that in mind if I ever receive a letter (no letters so far) that has any red flags.

I liked your detail about the tight writing because of paper shortage - makes perfect sense. I don't mind where any real fans might be, and if I were in jail books would be my salvation. But we do have to practice safe writing!

Alicia, I treasure my fans too and the good friends some fans have become. I received letters from the prisons and that's what actually prompted the P.O. Don't be surprised if it is your writing that has sparked something. I was surprised to find it was my women's fiction that found it's way into the prisons, not my thrillers. Those were the books that prompted the letters. You just never know. Congrats on your books. No matter how many you write, the fact that you—and those on this site—have written even one book means we are in the 1% that finish!!! That makes me your fan.
