My heartfelt thanks to every reader of my work: you have given it your time, your attention, and whether or not you liked it or felt repaid, you engaged - even for a little while if DNF. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your positive feedback, or your heartfelt reasons for your aversion. Writers are fortunate in that we can calibrate all that against our growing awareness of what we want to do.
As authors, we put ourselves out there and as readers we do that too, hoping to find that communion with other minds, maybe even souls, through stories. None of us would be here on Goodreads if we didn’t believe that there was something truly important in the quest for making and reading, truly good books.
