Readers Make Writers

 


We writers are nothing without readers. That's a fact. It's not only about book sales. Readers need to know that we thrive on more than sales. We thrive on reviews, on the social media comments you leave about our work, and on those emails readers sometimes take the time to write to us. I love hearing from a reader who has been touched by one of my books and who takes the time to tell me about their experience. That kind of feedback is fuel to us writers. It gives us energy and purpose and motivation to keep going.

I had one book--Unconditional--blow my sales numbers out of the water over the last two months. It's not a new book by any means. I've not been actively promoting the book. I don't know who started the fire that sent the sales of Unconditional climbing. I do know that a few people left ratings and reviews on Amazon. Those meant the world to me, to know that my book touched your hearts


So, readers, please don't ever think you're not important to us writers, that your comments and feedback and encouragement isn't important to us. It's ofthen the very thing that keeps us going to write the next book.

As for myself, I thank all my readers and fans. You make my world brighter and keep me going.
