So, It's Out There...

Since publishing Until Alex last week, I have been taken aback by the kind words that have come from readers who have read my book. When you write something, especially me who doesn't let anyone read what I'm working on, you have no idea how the characters, circumstances, and story will resonate with readers. It has been truly amazing to receive so much positive feedback. 

Now...I read a lot (at least I do when I'm not writing). So I know good writing. I also know books that are award worthy. Mine is not that. It was never intended to be. It was intended to be a fun read-okay so maybe there's lots of angst-but there is a HEA and closure for Alex and Hayden who suffered so much. That is all I set out to do. Tell a story the way I would like to read one.

There are definitely two things I have learned from putting my work out there:

ONE: I am stronger and can take criticism better than I ever thought possible. Sure it hurts when first reading a negative review, but I get it. I don't love every book I read. It doesn't mean the author did anything wrong. Something along the way just didn't work for me. So while I would love for everyone to love my story, I know that is impossible, and it's okay.

TWO: Reviewers and bloggers are amazing with a capital A. They spread the word and are your champions when they don't even know you. So many people have taken the time to read and review Until Alex, which means they've invested hours into my story. I know everyone has lives, family, work, etc. So the feeling I get from knowing these wonderful people set aside time for my story, is indescribable. I am indebted to everyone who read it and spread the word about it. 

I appreciate the opportunity to get my story out there more than I could ever put into words--ironically enough:-) So thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
