Before I write one word, before I create a single character, and before I even THINK plot…I think of you. You are the most important element of my craft. For, without you, I am just an unheard voice screaming in the desert.

Grassroots is a word that seems to be used way too much nowadays, and for all the wrong reasons. However, since I do not have the blessed advantages of a main house behind me…YET!…I rely on the goodwill of the “grassroots” level of this business. I have few followers, but they are mine. I treasure each. Each have helped me through doubts, wells of depression, and my own personal demons. Even when I get a negative review, I praise it. As a writer, it is my sacred duty to evoke a response from my readers — whatever that response may be. So, in a “grassroots” effort, I have tried to maintain a level of communication as if between old friends. I sincerely hope and pray that this phase of my career never changes. I welcome all emails and letters.

So…to the point.

You…the reader…are my family. I just simply wanted each of you to know that YOU ARE VALUED…YOU ARE RESPECTED…and, more importantly…

YOU ARE GREATLY THANKED .
