Well, for those of you who are waiting, and those of you who weren't really paying attention anymore because you thought it was never going to happen, Cold Summer Wind is live! I don't really have a post, but rather a random thought today. I was pondering how much it means to have fans who are truly enjoying my creative writing. I've written web content for a living for about 17 years, but it wasn't until 2020 that I published my first novel length work of fiction, which of course was Hot Winter Sun.
I had no idea how it was going to go. As with any new endeavor, the very real possibility that it could flop was in the back of my mind. However, never in a million years did I picture the reaction to that first novel. I don't believe in jinxing things so I’ll just say it: thank you for loving my first book! Thank you to all those readers ( no offense, but not counting friends and family) who truly loved the story and wanted to read more. There’s no way to describe the emotion it engenders when you realize it’s not merely people trying to make you feel good, but readers who truly enjoyed what you put in print.
I sincerely hope that everyone who continues reading the series will be just as entertained and delighted with Cold Summer Wind and Warm Autumn Rain, the latter of which will be coming as soon as possible! In fact, it’s almost finished! Thank you again to everyone who helped make these books a success and a big thanks to Gatekeeper Press for doing a wonderful, professional, and conscientious job with my books!
