Dear Joy

I just finished Heartstopper, wow what a good read and the ending is such a surprise. I never thought for one moment it would end that way. You are by far one of the best authors I've had the good fortune to read and I can't wait for the next novel to hit the shelves. My favorite book so far, although all are so well written, is The First Time. I shed more tears in that one book that there were times I just had to put it down. It's a book I'll definitely keep and reread. Thank you, your talent is immeasurable.

Iris

Dear Joy,
My daughter just gave me Heartstopper for my birthday and let me tell you I started reading and could not put it down.  My God, your characters are so real that I can relate them with some people I have known.  Your use of words and descriptive situations are really amazing.  I look forward to reading all of your books.

My sincerest congratulations on your writing, you are tops among suspense and thriller writers.

Dear Joy,

You have been my favorite author for years. I couldn't tell you how many times I have recommended your books to people.
I just finished Heartstopper over the weekend. Not able to put it down! I have always considered The Deep End to be my favorite, but now, I'm not sure!

Thank you for another excellent book.

Hello Mrs. Fielding,

Every time I read one of your newest books I always say: Well, this was really the best of all!!!

I can not wait for the German translation of your books and so I go to our book store “Hugendubel” in Munich and ask a few times a year, if there is something new in coming.

Thanks for those lovely, exiting books. I always take them with me on holidays, so I have plenty of time to read them, because it is really hard to read half of the night and be going to work on the next day.

Please go on writing for the next 50 years at least.

Kind regards and all the best for you,
Susan Hösl

Hello Joy,

I was recently introduced to your novels by a very good friend of mine, and I am truely thankful to her, and to you for the fine books you write. You really are an artist! I am one of your biggest fans I'm sure! Can't wait to read your latest, "Heart Stopper".

Yours in loyalty

Dear Joy,

I'm reading your book, in the Netherlands is the name of the book, "Fatale schoonheid''. Good translated in our language.

Gratulations with this fantastic book!

Han Nieuwmans

Hello Joy,

I have just finished the book "Don't Cry Now", and though it is the very first of your books that I've read, it certainly won't be the last !

You are an extraordinarily gifted writer, and I am your newest fan ! I am eager to read all of your other books, and will be looking for them to get started. It appears I have a lot of catching up to do !

Please keep writing... you are truly a fine writer.

Kind regards,

Hi Joy,

Just finished Mad River Road. Couldn’t put it down!! Wow and Thanks!

Elsa Peterson
Victoria, B.C.

Hi Joy,

When I finished to read your last book I saw the importance you give to the messages you receive, so I'm really proud today to send you this one, in my own English.

I just want to tell you that your talent is incredible, I don't have enough rich vocabulary in English to say how involved I feel when I read your words.

You hold me from the beginning of the novel to make me then fall over splendidly towards an end which I expect least.

I read several novels of you, in order of reading:
- MISSING PIECES
- THE FIRST TIME
- WHISPERS AND LIES
- GRAND AVENUE
- TELL ME NO SECRETS
- PUPPET
- MAD RIVER ROAD

All were amazing of suspense and surprise. There's always a little detail at one moment which make me say "Oh God, I would never believe this !"

I buy all your new novels with eyes closed because I know it will be a pleasure to read you at any time.

I always look on several websites in order to buy your first novels, I want to read them all !

Now I really would like to thank you for all the great moments you give me when I open an read your books.

Don't ever let say that you are not a good author, you shine among the stars of the contemporary literature.

Hope that my English wasn't so bad to understand, it was really important for me to send you this message. My eulogies would have been multiplied in French !

Sincerly,
Vanessa

Dear Joy Fielding,

I have not had time for leisure reading in a while- my daughter was away at camp for 2 weeks and I picked up your books from the library- Puppet and Grand Avenue. I had read See Jane Run a while ago and knew that I loved your writing. Needless to say, I was totally mesmerized reading both books- it was a marathon session - non stop through the night, until I finished the 2 books in 2 days. God, I loved reading them.  You draw the reader into the books and I felt like my life was on hold - all I wanted to do was keep reading to find out what happens next. Just writing to let you know that you are such a brilliant writer. I can't wait to get a hold of your new book and read it!

Thank you , 
Shanti Krishnan, USA.

Hello Joy,

I have been reading your books for some years now, starting in Majorca where I picked up Kiss Mommy Goodbye. I enjoyed it so much that I started reading others by you. It still remains my favourite, along with See Jane Run.

I have just finished Mad River Road, which I read in 2 days and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the twist at the end. Please keep writing!

Hazel
UK

Dear Joy,

I recently read Mad River Road and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for such an enjoyable read! It left me wondering how I had managed not to hear about you until I was given the book to read! After reading just that book, I believe you deserve to be among the authors making the big headlines, such as James Patterson. Mad River Road is an expertly crafted story. The end truly surprised me. I knew then that I would start a quest to read everything you have written.

Thank you,
Charlotte

Dear Ms. Fielding,

I have read every book you have written since Kiss Mommy Goodbye and I just wanted to tell you what a fantastic writer I think you are. Each book seems better than the last, although they are all so good. I just finished Heartstopper, which I literally read in one sitting...I could not put it down. I read a lot and pride myself on usually figuring out who the "villain" is but you really surprised me in this book and that thrilled me! As always, I look forward to your next novel.

Sincerely,
Gail

Dear Ms. Fielding

I have never before written to an author, but I have to do it this time. I purchased a copy of Grand Avenue (the first book I have read by you). The book is by my bed and some nights I wake up and read some more.

It has been a long long time since I couldn’t wait to get back to a book!

Today I went to your web site and when I leave the office today I’m heading for my local Borders Book Store to get another Fielding book. Thank you for telling a tale that was able to hold my interest without skip reading.

From now on a devoted fan,
Anne Hummel

Hi Joy,

Just finished Mad River Road. COULD NOT put it down. LOVED IT and am now telling all my reading friends that it is a must read.....and of course buying your other books. HA!

Joy,

I have to admit I am not much of a reader. I have never really enjoyed sitting down and reading a book or maybe it is because I never made the time.

A friend of mine gave me a copy of Grand Ave. and told me it was a must read. She was right. Since then I have not only read Grand Ave. but Lost, Whispers and Lies, Missing Pieces, Don't cry now, Life Penalty, Kiss mommy Goodbye and currently reading See Jane Run. I can't stop reading them. My husband told me that I seem to be more into your books then I am him. OOPS!!! Just wanted to say I am a huge fan and I will not spot until I have read all your books!!!

Thank you,
Robyn Cate

Dear Joy

Sorry, my English is no good! Many thanks for the very, very great Book "Whispers and Lies"! This Book is for me a Masterpiece!!

All the Best Wishes from Basel, Switzerland
Sincerely
Andy

I read See Jane Run many years ago and I was hooked, I have read and collected every book you have written and each one has been as captivating as the first. You are truly talented at what you create. I am always eagerly awaiting your new book to hit the shelves. Thank you and keep up the good work. 

Crissy Stephens,

Dear Joy,

I just finished reading Mad River Road and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. It kept me on the edge of my chair the whole time. I have read several of your other books and think you are one of the best authors around. I will continue to look for your books I haven't yet read until I finish every one. Keep up the great work. You are the best.

Sincerely,
Carol Driggers

Dear Joy,

I have read several of your books and I just love your writing. You are just wonderful. I can't or should I say want to put the books down, when I start reading. I'm so hooked and want to read every one.  You are very talented!! 

Nancy

Dear Joy,

I only want to thank you for your amazing books! The first book that I have read was "See Jane Run" - and I loved it! My mother was right, when she told me that you are an great author. THANK YOU for every minute that you enjoyed me reading your books!

Keep on writing!!

Best wishes,

Hello Joy,

My name is Jacqueline and I'm from Germany.

I just want to say you, that you are a absolutely great writer and I love your stories and books so much. Please go on :o)

Best greets
Jacqueline

Dear Joy,

When I find a book that I love, I read everything I can find that that author has written. It happened with my first book of yours, "Grand Avenue". Since then, I have read everything that you have written. I think I like them so much because I can never figure out how they are going to end. You capture me with your first paragraph and won't let me go until the last page. You're awesome! Thank you so much for never disappointing me. Every time I think they (your books) can't get any better, I read another! Am waiting with anticipation for your next!

Nancy

I have read every book of yours!!! And enjoyed every one. My favorite and first one was See Jane Run. When I was finished, I was hooked. I thank you for your very talented work, and look forward to each new adventure..... 

Shawna Craig

I have never taken the time to write to an author before. I have just (this minute!) finished reading The Deep End and I wanted to thank you for writing such a great story. Your characters are so compelling and believable! You can relate to the main character, Joanne, she is one gutsy lady. I can't wait to get to the store and buy another one of your books. I own and operate my own business and it tends to be very stressful so my "escape" is a good book. So, keep writing!!

Thanks again.
Linda

Less than six weeks ago I was given a copy of Whispers and Lies.  Since that time I have read seven of your other books, and plan to read every one you have written.  At last – truly enjoyable reading!  Keep up the good work! 

Susan

I have read lots of your books, and just read an older book, Kiss Mommy Goodbye. It was one of the best, which is unusual for an early book, I was not expecting that. You are a great writer... I have enjoyed them all... Please write more!! 

Lynn  

Hello, I recently picked up a copy of "Lost" at the library solely because it had a mystery sticker on the spine and I was up to date on all my usual suspense writers. I LOVED it although I'm not sure it should be listed as a mystery. It was much more of a study of family relationships and how losing someone can cause finding yourself. In general of late, I've been more into entertainment than thought provoking literature but I surprised myself by picking up 'Grand Avenue" on my next trip to the library. It was incredible and every bit as much a page-turner as the best whodunit'. I'm hooked and have moved on to "Whispers and Lies".

I'm so glad I found you!
Ginny

Hello Joy!

I just picked up a copy of your book; Missing Pieces today.  I have to admit at the end of the first chapter, I was amazed at how well you write.  YOU are my new favorite author!  thanks so much.  Wish you all the best, and keep writing!

Tara

Well, have just read back to back, non stop Lost and Puppet.   Geez your good.   You're really a very different writer.   I just feel your writing is very, very real.   I also learn things from your books, about life defining moments, and you have a little humor going on too.   I am going to buy what ever else I can find,  ( I'm talking hard cover).   How can I turn this into a career!
 
Lisa Williams
Sleepless in Seattle.

I have read every one of your books and have reread them.  Unlike many authors your books continue to get better.  How many times have I found a good author her first book then they go downhill, they just put pen to paper to make the money.  Your books just continue to get better and better.  Many thank you's for giving me pleasure.  Can't wait to read Puppet again.

Sincerely,
Doris Hirtz

Joy,
 
I have read pretty much every book you have written, and I love your style.  I have to say, though, that so far "Puppet" is the best of all!  I am about half-way through it, and enjoying every minute.  Thank you for writing books that I can totally get lost in!

Tina

Dear Joy,

I have just finished for the second time your book The First Time.  It is the most beautiful book I have read.  I will keep this book always and read it again.  

Thank You,
Patsy

Dear Joy,

This is the first time I have actually written to any authors whose book I've read.

I feel utterly compelled to write to you on behalf of your wonderful book THE FIRST TIME. Seldom had I encountered a book with so much emotion and depth. I have read it countless times over and over. I astound myself as to how I seem to always find something fresh in this book every time I read it.

Thank you for opening peoples eyes to this particular storyline.  and forevermore thank you for pulling at the heartstrings of all your readers including mine.

I have since purchased your titles and enjoy them but the first time is sad, poignant, and precious.

I hope you enjoy this email and if time allows maybe you can respond.

Sincerely
Fay W.

Dear Joy,

I live in Holland. I speak Dutch, so my message could have a few mistakes in it. I also like your books, as many of these people. In your stories it’s not just about the suspense you get, but you really get to “know” the characters. I think that’s one of the many little things that make your books run so well. I like you’ve got your biography on this site, although I do miss a few facts there (where and in what year you were born and that kind of stuff). However, I like your site a lot. Thank you for the link to that interviews. (januarymagazine.com). It helped me a lot with writing a biography about you (for my education). That’s all I wanted to say.

Yours sincerely,
Erika from Holland

Dear Joy,

You are my new favorite author!  I recently read Puppet, and could not put it down!  I since have read Lost, Missing Pieces and I am just about to finish Grand Avenue (I really do not like Tony). 

Your characters are real and the story lines are great!  Extremely easy reading. Thanks so much!!!

Have a wonderful day....

Ainslie

Dear Joy,

I have just finished reading "See Jane Run" and I am almost at a loss for words!  It has too be the most mind-numbing, terrifying and anxiety provoking novel I have read to date.  I couldn't put it down! Read it straight through.  I have read almost all your other novels, but "See Jane Run" is definitely your gold standard.

Thanks for a good read,

Julie Reid
Kingston, ON CANADA

Dear Joy,

You are my favorite author. I love to escape to my favorite cozy chair with a one of your books. I also have listened on audio tape in the car. I am just finishing Don't Cry Now and have Puppet to read. You are my absolute favorite. What I love best is continual suspense, few characters and not a lot of bad language. Your books are easy to read and very enjoyable. Thank you.

Pam

Dear Ms. Fielding,

I was finally able to get my hands on the last book I needed to complete my Joy Fielding collection (The Other Woman). I'm so excited! You are by far my favorite author. I find it almost impossible to stop reading until the end once I've started one of your books. You have an amazing gift for writing. Thank you so much for sharing it with me and all your other fans!

Nicole M., Ohio

Hi Ms Fielding

I'm from Germany, Bavaria, and I finished today your roman "Whispers and lies". It was the greatest book I've ever read! I was so enthusiastic about it that I had to search for a web-address to tell you. It was incredible! Thank you very much.

Respectfully,
Katja

Dear Joy,

I just finished your new book Puppet. In my opinion, it was your best. I loved all your books. I love your characters. They are so real. Your stories are so engrossing. I usually have to keep reading until I finish - most of them in a night or two.

Thank you for all your books.

Hi Joy,

I enjoy reading your books. As a matter of fact I'm in chapter nine of "Missing Pieces". I'm quite young, only 13. I enjoy reading mystery-type books and when I saw this book I just knew I had to get it. I hope you never quit writing because you have quite the talent. From your fan ... 

Vicki. B

Dear Joy 

I have read and enjoyed everyone of your books, as has my sister, Bunny. It is amazing to weave through the web of conspiracies and be taken entirely into the world of the hero of each book. Your books have the power to bring the color, the weather and even the smells into the hours of reading. Thank you - Thank you. 

Your faithful reader, 
Nadine Loescher,  Quesnel, BC.

You did it again--gave me a wonderful book to read. I so thoroughly enjoyed this book and the ending took my breath away. Absolutely loved the characters, Amanda, Ben, and Gwen and the story line was new and refreshing.
Thanks again.

Dear Joy:

I want to say how much I really enjoy your books. I have read almost all of them, 
(two more to go ), and have to tell you that when I'm reading these books, I go into another world. I have a busy hectic day at work so when I go home at night, after supper, I really enjoy my " down time " when I read your novel... The characters are down to earth people, that anyone can equalize themselves with. Great Job... Keep Writing...

Hello Ms. Fielding,

My name is Amanda, and I just read your book, Don't Cry Now. I loved it!! It was the best book I've read in a very long time. I am definitely looking at all your other books, and can't wait to read them!!

Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you I enjoyed your story, and am off to find more works by my new favorite author...

Sincerely
Amanda

Hi Joy,

I just wanted to let you know that I am in love with your writing. The thing that I like most about your books is that they are sooo easy to read compared to most well known authors out there. The only problem with that is that I go through your books so quickly. It normally takes me a week to read a novel although when I start one of yours I can be assured that within that same day I will have finished. The best gift that anyone could give me would be one of your novels, but unfortunately I am running out of books left that I haven't read. Please keep up the fascinating job and keep the books coming. 

Heather

...just completed your book, Whispers and Lies..........how fascinating, riveting and compelling...........couldn't put it down.........haven't read like this in a very long time......am currently in a book club consisting of teachers........this book was our recommended reading for December........so happy to have been introduced to you......will eagerly look forward to reading the rest of your books..........

Dear Ms. Fielding, Your books are fantastic! Once I start reading I can't put them down. You have a wonderful gift and I thank you. I just received "Missing Pieces" and plan to get started after this email. My Husband knows that you are my favorite author and surprises me constantly with a new novel. I can't wait to buy "See Jane Run" .
Again thank you and keep writing.

I'm a 20 year old girl from Germany. I Just want to thank you for your books- I love everyone of them. I bought every book. Yesterday I finished the book "Whispers and lies" and it was very exciting.  I'm waiting impatient for your new book. 

All the best wishes,

Dear Joy:

I am in the middle of your new book "Puppet". As usual, I have read all your books, I love it and don't want it to end. Although I haven't finished "Puppet" I am already looking forward to your new one. Bring it on!!!

When I saw "Puppet " on the shelf I whipped it off so fast. I was so excited.

You are one great writer. Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Fielding,

I have never written to a writer or a celebrity in my life, but I just finished "Lost" - which I read in three days riding the train home from work, plus one lunch period! The story left me panting for more every inch of the way - it was so real. I have always been a huge fan of your books, but this was just the BEST!!! So many surprises along the way... 

Your talent is a blessing to all of us who read your wonderful books - thank you so much for sharing them with us!

I look forward to reading "Puppet". Happy New Year! 

Colleen Berry

Hey Joy!

I just wanted to say thank you for all your incredible books!

You have made me a true ‘Book Worm’! 

I am in the middle of ‘Missing Pieces’, and it is just wonderful, I just love the character Jo Lynn, she is just hilarious! The way you describe her outfits and personality, makes me want to think of her like one of those ‘Cougars’ like Pamela Anderson!

Whisper and Lies, I have to say is one of my favorite books I have read... brilliant job on that.

I can’t wait to purchase yet another ‘Joy Fielding’ book, they are all such ‘Page Turners’ that I am never putting them down!

Thank you dearly, and God Bless you and your family!

Stephanie Y.

PS> When are you going to be signing out in Vancouver, BC?

Dear Joy,

What a great book! Couldn't put it down. Have enjoyed many of your books. Keep writing.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I have read every book and can never wait till the next one comes out!!! Keep up all the excellent writing for all us FANS!! 

Patti 

Dear Joy,

Just wanted to let you know I read your book "Lost", in a Dutch translation, I must confess, but still... a magnificent book ! You have a way of describing what goes on in a mother's mind, unbelievable ! I could relate, from the first page to the last.

It was such stunning and marvelous reading, that I am now searching Amazon feverishly, in order to get ALL your books and start reading them all, in English this time.

Congratulations, you really have a gift. Keep writing, numerous readers are panting for more...

Dear Ms. Fielding,

The first time I bought one of your books was in Germany. I didn't speak a word of German and desperately wanted something to read. You got me hooked. 2 days later, I went back to the same shop and bought my other 4 books. The First Time is your 5th book in my collection. I just love the way you write. After 4.5 hrs of constant reading I have just finished the book and thought I would let you know how much I loved it. I had to bribe my kids to keep quiet. Please continue writing such wonderful books.

Wishing you all the best from hot Bahrain
Neisha Gocht

Dear Joy,

I was recently introduced to you through "Grand Avenue", a very good read. I've since read "Lost", which stirred an anger in me, never before felt from reading fiction! I've just finished "The First Time" and cried my eyes out. Your characters are so real, their conversations so real - real enough that they are unpredictable and very interesting. I look forward to working my way through your other novels.

Kind regards,
AJH
Oshawa, Ontario

Hello Joy,

I read all your books. They are the best, I have ever read. The feeling is like a magnet. You must read read read. You want to know, how the story will be ending, but you don't want really finish, if you get the end of the story.

My english is not so good, because I had only school english, excuse me.

Please write another books, because I don't have some anymore. I want to read again. I don't know another good book writer as you.

Thank You, respectly, 
Birgit (Germany)

GOOD GRIEF!!

I have NEVER read anything like "Missing Pieces" before in my 30 years. I'm going to find every book you've ever written and lock my self away with a big cup of tea and a few scones. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

From Monica in Glasgow, Scotland

I was introduced to your novels approximately two months ago, and ever since then I have not been able to read much of anything else! So far I have read See Jane Run, Whispers and Lies, The Other Woman, Life Penalty, Don't Cry Now, and The First Time. All of these books were absolutely amazing, especially See Jane Run, what an ending! I'm currently looking for more of your books as I intend to read them all! I look forward to seeing more from you in the future. Keep up the excellent work.

Ashley Chartrand, age 18

I just finished reading Don't Cry Now - I couldn't put it down!! When I was done, I noticed that my family had moved.....(kidding) You are amazing, all of your books are page turners, thank you so much for sharing your gift with us!!! The only thing that upsets me about reading one of your books, is when I have to finish it!!!

Good morning Joy from sunny Scotland,

On a recent holiday in Rhodes, my wife and I were searching for a good book, as she is a keen reader. On looking through the various shops, I stumbled across your book, "Whispers and Lies".

After reading the summary, I thought that this was just the type of book that my wife Mary would enjoy. Well, we had a great holiday, but I kept wondering why my wife was keen for me to nip out to the shops, or to have an afternoon siesta, until I discovered the reason...your book.

Once she started reading it, she just couldn't put it down, and after she'd finished, part of our holiday had now became a mission to find another "Joy Fielding" book to quench her appetite, while I was just searching for a beer to quench mine.

We have looked locally for stockists of your books, but as yet to no avail, unless we pick them up on the net, but this weekend, we're off on a more in-depth search of our bookshops, to track you down. 

Whispers & Lies has now been passed to our daughter, and she finished it last night, and she loved it too.

Keep up the good work and best regards,
Gordon & Mary McQueen

After 34 years of avid reading, I finally found your books!!! I can honestly tell you that I have read each and every one of them, and they were all fabulous. The only problem is that I read them in 1 or 2 days - they don't last long enough. You are a wonderful author with captivating stories. Please keep them coming!!!!

I just finished Whispers and Lies. As an author and a former mental health counselor, I am rarely taken by surprise if the author of a novel or screenplay holds true to character, especially in regards to motivation and personality theory. You painted one character profile, then slammed the reader with another. And yet, each puzzle piece had been laid in place and the shift in character rang true with startling clarity. Well done!

Dear Joy,

I am from Germany and have found your Homepage when I have looked for your books. My English is not so good, because I had only English in school, but I don't like it so much.

I only want to say, that before I have read your books, I had never read any books. I was too lazy and I haven't any interest in books. Suddenly I read See Jane Run (lauf jane lauf ) and at this moment I fell in love with your books.

You write the best books I have ever seen.

Katrin Holzinger ( 17 years, Germany )

Dear Joy,

I have been a fan of your books for many years. I always look forward to seeing a new one come out. I will always buy your books because I know that I will enjoy them, and want to read them over and over. There are only a few authors I can say that about. I just purchased Lost this past weekend, and am trying hard not to finish it too fast. It is so good, however, that I am sure I will finish it today. I stayed up much too late last night reading it.

I usually don’t buy hardcover books too often, preferring to save the money and find them at my library, but I always buy yours, since I know I will read them again and again. Thank you for sharing your writing talent with the world.

Chris Jenkins

Hello,

My niece introduced me to your books a few weeks ago. I was skeptical at first because I read primarily non fiction books. However she persuaded me to give them a try and after the first one I was hooked. You write with such impact that if I didn't know these books were fiction I would have believed I was reading a true account of a person's life. I can read a book in an evening and I have been tired many mornings because I could not put it down until I completed it. There have even been times that I have gone to bed and got up again because I had to find out what happens. I will be spreading the word about Joy Fielding and I look forward to every book that I read. Thank you for the adventures that you take me on through your characters. Keep up the great work.

Kimberly Fry 

Oh my goodness- I stumbled upon Whispers and Lies in the library. I read it in two sittings. I couldn't put the thing down! What a well woven story! I really enjoyed the depth of the characters personalities. I wonder how wrong I am about the people that I think I know! Thanks for an awesome story- I'm looking forward to reading more of your books!

Dear Joy,

Let me start by saying thank you. Your books have put me on the reading path again. One day I went into the book store and asked the clerk for something good to read she handed me your book Whisper and Lies, and from there I was captivated by your writing. I read that book in 2 days I just couldn't put it down. As soon as that was finished I went back to the book store and purchased another. From here on in I was addicted to your books I just couldn't put them down. Unfortunately I ran into a bit of a snag when I had exhausted the books shelves of the books they were carrying. There are four more I still need to read but I have to order them from the book store. So while I wait for the order to come in, I eagerly anticipated the release of Lost. Everyday I went to the book store asking if their copies were in and finally on Aug. 31, 2003 it came. God I was so excited to have it! I sat down to read this book and by far this is your best. I was completely captivated and unfortunately again 2 days later it was finished. I was utterly amazed at the story line in this book. It kept me captivated like nothing has before, then came the ending and I will be one of the first to admit I was completely shocked by the ending. Not in a million years would I have ever thought this was going to be so good. Way to go Joy, I will forever be a fan and a reader of your novels. I can't wait for the next book even though its going to be a while before its written and available.

Thanks again for such good reading.

Cheers,
Kathy

To Joy,

I want to say thank you for being such a great author and letting me get away with many hours of pleasurable reading. My first book was "Grand Avenue" and I was just in shock by the end of the book. I usually don't buy books because I figure I would read it once and never look at it again, yet I went out to buy yours. I even purchased some older books you wrote before my time like "Kiss Mommy Goodbye". Truly my most favorites are, "Grand Avenue", "The First Time" and "The Other Woman". The most recent I read was "Whispers and Lies", and holy that scared me so much at the end, but still great suspense. Through a story you make people see never to trust anyone and always expect the unexpected. I cant count the countless times I cried over "The First Time". So to keep this short, please keep writing and don't deny us of your wonderful writings =)

Hello Joy,

I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your books. I just loved First Time and Grand Avenue. I have also liked your earlier books. I have not read Whispers and Lies but I am sure I will also like it. I am so happy to see that you have your new book out, can't wait to buy it. Keep up the writing. I look forward to the new books.

Hi Ms. Fielding,

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your books. They always keep me riveted. I find myself either crying or sitting on the edge of my seat, unable to turn the pages fast enough. 

Thank you.

Joy,

I've never sent a note to an author of a magazine article before (Family Circle). Your Road to Love story was very intriguing. I appreciate your effort and artistic creation.

Dear Joy,

I would like to let you know that I have recently discovered your books and I am in love! I have read almost all of your books this summer. I read each book within a few days. I am truly captivated by your writing. Each time I think I have the whole book figured out, you amaze me by taking the plot into a totally new dimension. The first book that I read of yours was See Jane Run. It remains my favorite, but I am mesmerized with each new book I read of yours. I am a college student and this summer has been such an enjoyable break from my courses. I have read so many of your books and it has helped make my summer great. I hope to continue reading your amazing stories. Thank you for your entertaining novels.

Thanks,

Dear Ms. Joy,

My name is Yafit, I'm from Israel. I usually read English books for fun and for practice the language and by chance. I had one of your books: "GRAND AVENUE". I must say this book was fabulous one, in many ways that I just couldn't put it down and you kept me up curious, all nights with "Grand Avenue". I saw you have a great list of those kind of series books and II am about to read all of them with love :-) Whirlpool of emotional, loving causing suspense, amazing and interesting , what else? did I forget something?

You are one of a kind! A greatest author's I've ever known. Have a great success in continuation. GOOD LUCK AND BEST WISHES.

Sincerely Yours,
Yafit

I had to write and tell you how much I loved the book Grand Avenue. I have not sat down and read a book in over 7 years (3 children in 7 years will do that to you). I work full time and just never had the time. Well three days ago I bought your book thinking maybe if I buy a book I may get a chance to read it someday. Well I just finished it and it has been the best three days I have had in a long time. Thank you for bringing me back to something I love and missed. I am going to run to the store on my lunch hour and get The First Time, Thank you again I feel so rested and happy that I spent some time on me doing what I love. Block buster loves me to since I have rented 4 movies for the kids since I got your book. My house didn't fall down and the kids still ate and I somehow found time to read, I just can't thank you enough.

I just finished the book, my eyes are tired, my family is hungry, my house is a mess. What can I say? It was your best book so far, and I've read them all. Actually, I think it's one of the best books I've ever read. I'm recommending it to all my friends. It was terrific - I didn't see the end coming for an instant. Okay, enough gushing - I LOVED THAT BOOK!

I read The First Time and found it to be one of the best books I've ever read. My cousin passed away from ALS and reading this book let me know what would of been 
going through his mind. I found it very moving and very true. I had a hard time putting it down and cried all through the last few chapters. Thank you for writing such a good book and letting people realize what ALS is. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
Jessica

Dear Joy,

I must say that I am still reeling from Whispers and Lies. I cannot stop thinking about that book and the surprise twist near the end. I am 32 years old, and most of my life I have read novels. Your books have always intrigued me. I just wanted to say that I never in my years of reading great authors like Mary Higgins Clark and Patricia Cornwell, felt as shocked after reading a book as I was when I finished Whispers and Lies. I am looking forward to reading Lost.

One of my other personal favorites is Grand Avenue. Keep up the great writing.


Regards,
Kimberly Dabreo

Dear Joy,

yesterday I started to read "Missing pieces" and had to read it through at once. I found it very exciting - as all your books!  In your books the life is going on many levels and that makes them so interesting, that the reader doesn't want to stop reading before the last side. 

I hope you could enjoy your holidays here in Europe and I'm looking forward to your next book!

Best regards from Austria,

Dear Joy,

This is a rare letter to an author on my part, but I just HAVE to let you know how much Whispers and Lies moved me. I so ingested every crumb of doubt you dropped, that I became as paranoid as your protagonist deep into the story. And then I was blown away with the twist of events at the conclusion. How did she do that, I pondered, and promptly reread the book cover to cover. That's as rare for me, as writing this fan letter. Now I plan to seek out your other novels. Thanks for helping me escape a very hot summer here in Arizona.

Dear Ms. Fielding:

I just wanted to let you know that you are by far, one of my all-time favorite authors. I grab everything you write as soon as it hits the stores. Grand Avenue and Whispers and Lies were so great and it's amazing how you can write on such different levels so well! Please keep on writing!

Mary, New Jersey

Dear Joy Fielding,

I started to read "Whispers and Lies" this morning and, as always, started with the acknowledgments. You mentioned how much the emails from your readers mean to you and so I am writing to add my two cents. 

I enjoy your books very much. They are always riveting, enthralling, interesting and varied. I read them generally within 2-3 days - I cannot put them down. I was so glad to read on your website (which I wasn't aware of until now) that you are working on a "one book a year" schedule; great news for your fans.

I am Australian expat living in Philippines and it is great that your books also reach here! Thank you for your wonderful written work.

Regards,
Lisa Hamann

I just wanted to say that I LOVED the Road to Love short story in the latest Family Circle magazine. I thought at first that it was an excerpt from your newest novel (which I am looking forward to), but was just delighted with it as a free-standing short story. It was just wonderful.
