Your ratings are noticed and appreciated.

Some of you who read my stories leave a star rating on Goodreads or Amazon. I always notice these and I sincerely appreciate them, regardless of the star rating—negative reviews help me grow as a writer. One cool thing about Goodreads is that, unlike Amazon, star ratings without a review are not anonymous. I always make a point to “like” these ratings, because it’s important to me that you know I
