Notes from readers. Part two. 2/4

To have someone love all the parts of you that need loving, well, I’ve yet to find an offering of any other kind which is comparable.” —Britney King, A Social Affair

For the remainder of the month, I’ll be posting notes from readers. Some of them have asked to remain anonymous and others have asked for the opposite. It’s impossible to describe what these notes mean to me. It’s easier just to share them. 🙂 Basically, it’s a lot.

I can do small talk and surface level, if I have to. But (so far) those aren’t the kind of stories I write. So, to know that readers connect with my characters in ways that are meaningful to them, well, as a writer you can’t really ask for more than that.

 


Dear Britney,

Just wanted to drop you a few lines and say you are my favorite Author. I just finished the series Somewhere With You and Around The Bend! OMG is all I can say!  Both books touched me so much. In some ways, I felt I was reading about myself. Both books just tore my heart out. Of course, I had to call my sister which she is now reading Around The Bend. I’m also a recovering addict, 18 months now. I’m getting ready to start Water Under the Bridge!  You are TRULY AMAZING especially how you touch your readers. Best books I have read in a very long time. Stayed up way into the night finishing them. Look forward to reading everything you write!!

Sincerely,

Missy A.


Dear Missy,

First, let me apologize for taking a few days to get back with you, especially after such a personal and heartfelt note.

Secondly, thank you for writing such kind words. I cherish every email I get from readers and it means a lot that you took the time to reach out. It means even more that your note is so personal. I am so glad you loved the books, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of having a reader ‘get you.’

Mostly, I hope you know that I am heavily and deeply rooting for you.

Big hugs,
Britney
