A Thank-you Note

Hello All,

"Glass Roses" has been out for nearly four months now, and I want to take a moment and thank those of you who have added, read, and reviewed my book.

To those who have gone the distance and actually written a review, I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the careful thought each one of you has put into sharing your insights on my novel. Being a reader of independent fiction is a brave action, and you deserve to be commended every time you step out of your comfort zone or take some other kind of chance on an unproven author. Your reviews have been full of substance and overwhelmingly kind. Thank you.

To those who have given my novel ratings, this means you too have taken a chance that requires a leap of faith. Every star rating also has a little phrase attached to it, indicating the level to which you enjoyed the book. Since I consider anything above the "it was okay" two stars to be incredibly generous for a first-time author, I am sincerely grateful for your kindness.

Finally, to those who have merely added my book to their reading lists and are still considering, I want to thank you as well. Your willingness to consider reading my work helps to spread the word that my novel exists. I can only do so much on my own; you help drive the generation of interest in a massive way.

This all sounds pretty flowery, but I really do mean it. I don't know most of you, and you don't know me, but you have been willing to give me a shot. I can't thank you enough for that.

Happy Weekend!
