How to Express Your Appreciation and Thanks to Your Readers

Every writer, especially of commercial fiction, likes to believe there's at least a niche of readers out there willing to patronize his or her books. A cult following, if you will. This process usually doesn't occur overnight. Rather the readership is built up as more readers get turned on by the writer's books.

I can attest to the writer feels most appreciative. Posting a thank you on a web page or blog never seems to be enough. So, I'll use this post as an opportunity to express my grateful thanks for those you who've bought or read and liked my books.

Stephen Gallup And by the same token it's not amiss for readers who enjoy your books say so. I'm a big believer in dialog, especially now when it's so easy.

Wow. I've got another crime novel I'm talking to the publisher about releasing in '012. It's a bigger
book. When the deal gets done, I'll holler out the news! Thank you so much for your comment and interest, Pamela!
