My Pleasure. Thanks for reading.

Thank you very much for sending me Queen of Fire as a part of the giveaway. I received it yesterday so I thought I should thank you in person. So thank you!:D (As you can see, I'm really very thrilled) I just started reading it and promise to write a review as soon as I'm done. Cheers! :)

It would be much higher than it is if it were a bit better known. I advertise your book every chance I get.
