I am called Thorn and have been hooked on Chris Wooding's work since I was assigned Alaizabel Cray in book club. Actually, I seemed to be the only one who understood the concepts presented in the book, but the other members at that time were for the most part lightweight fantasy/romance fans and complained that the book was too scary. But for myself, it was exactly the sort of book I loved to read, and the sort of which I believed should be much more popular.
Next I read Poison, which I also found perfectly described and imagined. The storyline seemed amazingly well thought-out and again, made perfect sense to me.
My absolute favorite of Wooding's work has to be The Storm Thief, though. To me, it is the perfect sort of book. It had the fantasy and horror elements that I love, as well as the fast-paced hard-to-put-down intrigue plot usually only found in children's books, only here with some serious thought-provoking ideas.
As of now, Chris Wooding is one of two favorite authors, the other being Clive Barker. And I'm waiting for The Fade to be published here in the U.S., which I do hope will happen in a reasonable abount of time.

Hi! Welcome! Heh, you're far more patient than I to wait for a US release. ^_^ My copy has been pre-ordered and now I just have to wait for it to deliver... But now, I offer popcorn! Why not. ^_^ *makes up a big bowl of regular popcorn, buttered popcorn and caramel corn* There! I covered most of the bases!

Nah, I left it out since you can add it yourself easily. You can't really add butter after the popcorn's been popped. ^_^ I prefer buttered and salted toooooo. Anything to shorten my life span. :-p
