My publisher just sent me this handsome trophy to mark an achievement I never dreamed I would reach: one million readers have bought my books! I am awed and humbled by this number. While I am very proud of my stories, this accomplishment was a joint effort between me and all the amazing folks at Montlake Publishing. They are incredibly smart, hardworking, and innovative. My books would not have reached all of you without their support.
But really, I want to thank YOU, my readers…all one million of you! (Wow, that sounds like a lot.) You are the ones who have spent your hard-earned money on my books. You are the ones who tell me via email, Facebook, reviews, notes, etc., that I should keep writing because my stories mean something to you. You are truly the wind beneath my writer’s wings!
I bow down and lay my virtual pen at your feet in tribute to your enthusiasm and encouragement. Love you guys!
P.S. If you read the fine print on the trophy, I hit the million-reader mark last July but I just got the trophy yesterday. I was waiting for it to arrive before I thanked you, but I didn’t expect it to take quite so long, I have to admit. Sorry for the delay! LOL!
