blogger and reviewer appreciation post

Given recent going-ons, I figured that this needs to be said: bloggers and reviewers, thank you for all that you do. Your work is truly so important in this community and industry, I should add, especially for the books that fall through the publisher's cracks when it comes to marketing/publicity. All the time that you spend writing reviews, sharing your opinion, good or bad--ALL of that makes a real difference in how many readers a book reaches. I know this, because I experienced it firsthand with my debut. I can't see all of your work (and purposefully avoid some of it since this is your space!), but I remember it every single day. So, thank you. Thank you.
