Whoo-hoo!

Something new and exciting has happened!

I’ve started to get fan mail.

I LOVE this. This makes all the hard work worthwhile.

I was lucky to have quite a few (nice) reviews early on, and those are great. I truly appreciated them, and was so interested in some of the insights that came out through them.

However, this is different. This is personal. This is what I wanted to do.

I wanted young readers, who love horses, to talk about Objects in Mirror with their best friends (check!), read it twice in three days (check!), and be inspired that I’m just like them – from their province, and was a girl who liked horses – so maybe someday they can write a book, too (check!).

Thanks to those of you who have written these things (and others) to me. Each time I get a message from one of you it makes my day / week.

And, if you’re wondering whether you should write a fan letter to an author you admire … YES! Do it.

Which reminds me, there are probably a couple of letters I could write myself …
