I’m not very good at acknowledging my accomplishments. It makes me feel like I’m bragging, so I end up qualifying the accomplishment with some reason it doesn’t mean anything. My friend Theresa says I shouldn’t do that. I know she’s right, but its difficult for me. But tonight, I will do it.

It’s the last day of a month in which nearly 20,500 copies of Foreseen were distributed to new readers. That’s been my dream as a writer – having my novels enjoyed by lots of readers. Now that’s true. Sure, not all of them will like Foreseen, but the reviews that are pouring in have been tremendous. A couple people have even started discussions about the novel on Goodreads.

I exceeded what I set out to do and the readers are responding. I accept the wonder of it without discounting its value. I did a good job and, thanks to thousands of readers out there, my work is being read and enjoyed, just as I always wanted. There is no downside.
