Tomorrow, Saturday October 22nd, my interview with romantic suspense author Ronda Hinrichsen will be posted on http://thewriteblocks.blogspot.com/ It was fun and thought provoking.
More than once I've been asked what my favorite thing has been that has happened since finishing and releasing 12 books in 12 months.
The answer is the response of fans.
For instance, I received word yesterday one of my fans went online to http://www.iamareadernotawriter.blogspot.com/ where the current giveaway the 3 of my award-winning books is being held and she left a comment there. She wasn't trying to enter to win the books (she'd already bought all of them) she just wanted everyone to know that she loved them all. Wow. It renewed my hope and made me want to plow ahead with more books.
Just this morning I received an email that told me one of my fans had a dream about a particularly potent scene in Walking in Lightning. Another Wow.
To me, the fact the fan had a dream about the characters in the book is affirmation that my writing has touched something deeper than a persons's eyes. It sank into their subconcious which then spun the scene out for them in a dream. The fan said it was like being in a movie it was so real.
Some of my fans have made drawings of my COS characters on deviantart.

For me, the fans reactions have been Powerful heady stuff and the best kind of reward because when I write, I do so from the heart. I want the books to be talked about, laughed about, and discussed with pros and cons for the characters. It's been one of my dreams for a long time.
I write because I must, but fans are why I continue to do so with a smile.
