I'm sure by now those who make new years resolutions have
mostly quit them. What is it that makes us so sure that we can do things and
change our lives just because it is a new year. I always try to be a nice
person and help people not because it is January but because I am a human being
and we have been put on this planet to look after it and help each other. It's
not hard to be civil to each other.
This week I have received my first professional book review
and was very pleased when the reviewer said it kept them hooked from the first
page. Every author tries to grab hold of the reader and pull them into a world
created in the author's head. I am no exception to that. The world of Michael
Dawson is not a happy one, unwanted by his Aunt after the death of his parents
and very much alone in the world he relies only on himself to get through in an
environment alien to him. It is a huge compliment when someone believes in the
world and characters that you create.
To watch the project come together is a truly amazing thing
as ideas from my head transfer onto paper or word document and become part of a
story that people will read. I am so grateful to people who buy my books and
take time to read them.
Thank you.
Keep reading and I'll keep writing.
