OctaviaButler.net A fan blog for Octavia E. Butler, writer.

I just finished reading Fledgling and i really liked it. It sucks that there is not and will not be a sequel to Fledgling. I thought the book ended too soon and I was wondering if Shuri ever gets her memory back. I recommend this book to those who love vampire books and who liked the Twilight series. I havn't read any more books by Butler but I do plan on it.

I'm reading The Physics of Star Trek. I'm not a "Trekkie" but I loved the earlier shows. This book is heady but fascinating (No noise in outer space, never thought about that).

I love this style of because there is a thick line of truth revealed in these books. I have been reading Sci Fi since I was 9yrs old. Remember Omni magazine? Thats where discovered Ms. Butler's work. I could'nt believe it! She was a visionary

While tuned into the program True blood lines: A New Type; A look at vampires in popular culture, the narrator mentioned the book Fledging by Octavia Bultler. I love to read and I have never read a story that a can recall that was about an African American Vampire. I can not wait to embark on this talented author's great writings. I'll visit your site more often.

Thank you so much for this site. Octavia Butler has to be the best writer for me. I had to reread Fledgling two days after I finished it because it was so good. I´m devastated she isn´t here to continue the series. It was so lovely to see her on the videos here. Thank you.

I am an avid reader of vampire romance novels and was recently loaned the novel "Fledgling". I had never heard of Octavia E. Butler before, but after reading this book I was totally hooked. I found this webpage while I was looking for more info on Ms. Butler (and to see if there is a sequel to "Fledgling") and was sincerely disappointed to find that she passed away a couple of years ago. I'm very excited to find and read her works and I'm sure I will enjoy them as much as "Fledgling".

Why Ms Butler came into my spirit today is beyond me. I just felt the need to connect with one of the wonderfully insightful and vunerable sistah writers who have given word to my soul. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting her at a gathering at Sony Pictures in 1996. I was amazed when I later discovered her listed in the Pasadena phonebook. So of course, I called her....She was warm, genuine and a little cautious (of course I was the crazy fan). Her spirit will never be forgotten...

Thanks so much for this site. I think Octavia Butler was a genius, and she was and is so underappreciated. Thank you!
