I told you last week that I’ve been working really hard on the business side of my author career this year. I want to be savvy and make smart choices and find the best ways to reach and connect with readers.
If you’re getting this email, you found one of my books or you found me somewhere. A free book, a giveaway, maybe you joined my Facebook reader group, maybe we met in person, or I was recommended to you by someone. (Or maybe we’re related. Hi Mom and Dad)
(These pictures were snapped at FanX with some of the amazing people I met. They're holding my books! 🥰🥰)
But what’s important is that you found me. I’m grateful that you did because you are my people. You are my readers and without you and your answers to my emails, without the way you’ve connected with me on social media, or left a review on Amazon or Bookbub or Goodreads has given me encouragement to keep going.
I have a big birthday coming up next week so I’ve been reflecting on my life and how I’ve grown in all aspects of it. Being an author is so much a part of who I am and has stretched me in ways I never could have imagined.
Without you I might still write, but I might find less joy in my stories. It makes me smile and happy when I get a comment or message about your reactions to my stories.
So thank you. Thank you for reading my emails. Thank you for reading my books. Thank you for being you and being here with me.
I have two huge announcements next week, and my email will drop a little bit earlier so you can see it before I shout it out on my socials. I can’t wait to share this with you!
