I’ve been real pleased at the number of reviews that my debut novel Beauty Rising has garnered over its first 5 months of release. Just today on Amazon I got my 50th, a very humbling review from someone who said:

“Wonderful! This was the most satisfying book I have read this year, and I read more than one hundred books a year. It had truly believable characters; it portrayed both joy and pathos; and above all, it depicted a great triumph of the human spirit.”

Wow! It’s humbling when someone says something so flattering about my work. I just write what is on my heart, let my imagination take me where it will, and hope readers will connect with it.

And when they do, I’m very grateful.

Today’s a good day to be a writer.
