I’ve met some wonderful fellow writers on my journey. People who have helped and inspired me, people I have helped in return. But for me it’s the army of book reviewers that have astounded me. Before I began marketing my novels I had no idea about the online world of books. It was a huge learning curve. Once I had my presence on Amazon and Goodreads, Facebook and Twitter, I was in awe of the hours of work fabulous book reviewers put into their websites and blogs. They work tirelessly reading and reviewing. Without those reviews new authors like myself would never get noticed. All of the reviews I post here on my website have been written by people who were kind enough to take time out after reading one of my books to tell the world about it. It’s humbling.
Four years ago my dream was to see one of my manuscripts as a printed book and to have a complete stranger read one of my stories and feel they had been able to escape into it for a while. In the same way that I have done myself over the years, curling up with a good book and letting the author take me to another place.
So a HUGE thank you to those fabulous readers who take the time to post a review. I’ve valued each and every one and really appreciate the feedback. What it has allowed me to do it gauge how well I’m doing and Twitter conversations with readers have influenced what I’m writing now. Including a sequel to The Quintessential Gemini, after two readers expressed their desire to know ‘what happened next?’ Connecting with readers is such a positive experience and for that I’m very grateful – it’s what makes me feel like I’ve achieved exactly what I set out to do. So a HUGE thanks to every single person who has read one of my stories, you’ve made my dream come true!
A big ‘hug’ too, to the fabulous team at Sapphire Star Publishing who have now published two of my books – The Quintessential Gemini and The Restaurant @ The Mill. You’ve taught me such a lot in the year we’ve been together and your support has been amazing!
