Gratitude

Ten years ago, I started writing The Wrong Samantha, under a different title. I was very excited about it as I wrote it, however, I wasn't a very serious writer. I knew how to make scenes detailed, capture the reader, and how to express what I wanted to get across, but I didn't have the want to, to make it what it has become today. That is until a few months ago, when I decided I was going to finish it and have one of my friends edit it and I was going to be a published author.

Once I started posting about it, it became a whirlwind. In three months, not only does it have over 30 reviews, it's became number 2 on the charts, and has sold over 600 copies world wide. It currently stands as Amazon's #46 most wished for book on their kidnapping crime list.

And i wouldn't be here without all of you. No matter the good, the bad, and the ugly, it is because of all of you readers that I have had such amazing success. The fact that I can look at comments and people will talk about how great they heard my book is, how they've had it on their TBR, or how they've already read it, makes my heart sing.

I have cried from happiness at how well received this book, that started as a metaphor for my life, has become. I am grateful for every single one of you.

I hope that I can continue putting out books that bring you all entertainment as time goes on.

Thank you.
