Yesterday, at the party to celebrate my husband’s forthcoming retirement, I met a number of people. I was happy to hear from those who having heard of my books, had purchased them. It was exciting to hear they were enjoying them. Since most of the people I met are engineers, most are reading or have read the Sister World books. I did inform them that the next book will be coming out soon. What was most rewarding was hearing from those who have always had a desire to write. Being told my writing, my attitude of never giving up on a dream, was inspiring. Having a positive effect on another’s life is more rewarding than the number of books sold. Of course I still want to sell more books.
