Hooked on Reading

Sometimes readers tell me things that remind me why I do what I do. A comment I received today is one of those messages that will stay with me for a long time. Here's what she said:

"I have never been a reader. I've probably read maybe 5 books in my life. That is until Immoral! I was hooked! I have now read 10 books in the last year (for me, that's remarkable!) But not only that, just seeing me... read, has encouraged my kids to read more! My fifth grader has improved, my first grader is now reading at a high 2nd grade level, and my pre-schooler is trying really hard to read by himself... all because I read Immoral!"

Publishing is a tough business, especially in the last few years...but messages like that keep me going. So THANKS to all of you readers out there!
