I have just finished reading “On,Off”. I could not put the book down I was so enthralled with it. The ending…..well I had no idea it would end like it did !! I had to read the last chapter twice to absorb how thrilling it was. I love murder mysteries and am so looking forward to reading “Too Many Murders” the sequel. Have you any idea when it will be released in Aus ? One internet site says September 2010 ! Thank you so much for a crime chilling book. Best wishes to you.

Thrilling! My husband and I read On-Off and never had a clue to the killers. We thought everyone could have done it. We knew to reread the ending as something just doesn’t sit well. Blessings to you on your eye treatments. But with your spunk you’ll handle whatever comes your way. Look forward to anything that the muses push you towards. Nancy Beggin, Freeport, Il

Dear Colleen,
I have been a fan of yours since I first read “Tim” and was delighted when it was made into a movie in Australia. AND then you wrote the “Thornbirds” and I was just swept away. My husband really enjoyed your Rome series.
I have just finished On Off. How you got that one published without me noticing was a wonderful surprise to me and I have to say WELL DONE! I sure hope you do write a sequel to it. You said it will depend on the response from your public. I can’t wait to read about Carmine’s next case.
You really are an inspiration to me.
I also have a question. Do you ever do writing workshops? If so could you let me know about the next one?

I wish more of her books were available in hardbound, I can’t stand “trade paper”. But most of the titles I want are only available used at high “collectors” prices! A well…

I have just finished reading ‘On Off.’ I am a huge fan of whodunnits, and this is one of the best I have read in ages. The final chapter was particularly chilling and I finished it just before I retired for the night yesterday evening. Let’s just say that little twist at the end kept me awake for a while and I’m still shuddering over it today.

The only book I have read from this author is “the thorn birds”. I do not wish to read any other of her books. I have re-read the book more than five times I can recite most portions of it. I find myself carried along with the story I always cry reading it. I have read several books since over ten years ago that i read this book but none come close yet to this masterpiece.

I have made it a point to buy as many of the thorn birds to distribute to my friends whom i have told about this masterpiece of a story.

How can I get in touch with this great author of our time.

Cheers

I am a real big fan of Colleens books, I really love the history ones on Rome. I feel when i read her books that Colleen was there in rome witnessing everything that happened with Ceasar and Pompey. Its like she was Ceasar in a past life.

I would love to know if Colleen has any plans to write a book about Nero? I study history in my spare time and found out that Nero was not that bad (He was loved by the poor & hated by the rich & comes across rather witty) I would love to read a book on Nero written by Colleen.

Love

Very Big Fan.

I love Colleen’s books, but would love to know the story behind THe Thorn Birds” was this from a story she heard? or something she thought of herself?

My Aunt told me of a story of her uncle which is almost identical to the story, as i am doing my family history i would be grateful for any information on this or how i could contact Colleen. Thank you in anticipation for any information.

i am a faithful reader of Colleen McCullough ever since i was a college student in the early 1980s. right now, i am professor in Huangshi Institute of Technology in Hubei,China.
i am eager to learn more about Colleen McCullough for some good reasons: for years, i have done some research in her works such as “The Thorn Birds “and “An Indecent Obsession”, but i cann’t get more new information about her, and in China, we can only find translation for The Thorn Birds. i got the English version of Tim and An Indecent Obsession when i took a trip in US, and i expect to introduce more of her works to my students and my colleagues.as we are in the English Department, and introducing some of the good books to my students and other teachers has become part of my job. for another, i hope to get some first hand information about the author so as to help me do the research well and complete. my last two pieces are mainly based on The Thorn Birds, and i am the chairman of our Reading Club, therefore, i am in the hope that i can get in touch with Colleen McCullough directly in the future under your help.

anyway, i am so happy to find some sources to get through and talk to.

Can you give me a response.

with hope

and best wishes
