I just want to give a special thanks to all of my loyal readers. The one's that took a chance on me from my very first book, The Exception to The Rule and have followed me ever since. The one's that I connected with over a sexy Irish guy named, Dailan O'Maley. The one's that were just introduced to me by having their hearts torn to pieces in A Cry For Hope and reading every one of my other books thereafter. To you guys I say THANK YOU because there are MANY days where I just want to stop this whole publishing stuff. Not writing, I will never do that and will always continue even if it's just for myself or just a select few - it's my addiction and my therapy. Some people have shopping, some people have food mine is my writing.
I've met a lot of great people along the way that I consider very good friends and a few not so great ones, but the whole journey has been a true learning experience and and an eye opener. I've learned that promoting a book is harder than writing it, that writing for yourself as if no one else will read it is the best type of writing you can do, not everyone is going to think your "baby" is as perfect as you do - in other words learn to take criticism gracefully and not like a spoiled three year old who doesn't get their way. But the most important thing I've learned is your true readers will stick with you no matter what. They will tell others about your books and they will buy your books no matter what the price. Which gets me to my whole point of this post (yes, there is a point). I thought long and hard for the pricing of A Will To Change I wanted to do something special just for my loyal readers. I thought about releasing at .99 cents for the first few days but was told by a few of my friends that had read the story that it was worth so much more than that and that my true readers wouldn't mind paying an extra $2.00. Well, turns out they were right. I have no problem with .99 cent sales. I, personally try not do it often only because I know how much time and effort goes into writing a book. I will do one occasionally to celebrate a special occasion or to promote a new release in a series. I have connected with a lot of new fans in doing so but my heart was telling me that Will and Gabby's story was so worth $2.99. So thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I don't think I need to tell any of you who I am referring to....I'm sure you already know!
PS....And a great big thank you from Will & Gabby xo
