Because most of our work is done alone and isolated, any chance we have to reach out to each other and establish some human connection is good for both the writer and the reader!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566445701210795801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-81765536772665272132013-02-12T09:01:45.526-05:002013-02-12T09:01:45.526-05:00Amen, I can't imagine any author (though I'...Amen, I can't imagine any author (though I'm sure there are some) who wouldn't want to hear from folks who love their stories. That's what an author writes for, right? So by all means, let them know when you love their books!Linda Glazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374683352435771715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-21156660259195097272013-02-12T06:24:18.434-05:002013-02-12T06:24:18.434-05:00I second that motion.

Although my mere two novels (so far) don't rate me anywhere near the level of success of Elkins, I gain great encouragement from readers who take time to contact me. Recently a teen reader sent a fan-art drawing based on one of my books. I felt honored and posted it on my site. This past Saturday, a mom told me her son had chosen a passage from my other novel to memorize and recite for his speech class. Another reader in South Africa found me on Facebook to say how much she liked my book she had just finished. (My books go places I've never been.) Each incident encourages me to push forward with my current story. So, yes, you are definitely correct.Rick Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795635112065282277noreply@blogger.com
