Congratulations to the latest winners of signed copies of 'Letters to Mom'. Jodie and Ashley, I look forward to hearing your comments about the book.

And you too! Yes- you! Do you comment when you read a blog? Do you comment when you see a post of Facebook you like (or dislike?)

Authors love feedback, both good and bad. Good feedback causes us to walk euphorically from room to room humming 'I'm in the money' and thinking of how we will spend all of the royalties. Bad feedback causes us to shrivel under the covers, sniffling and whining- but then we get back up and try even harder!

So leave some love for us when you read a great book. Leave some so-so feedback if you don't like the book. Either way, you are helping us to write better. And isn't that what you really want? :)
