I got my first fan letter today! I'm so excited. It's from my grandma, but hey that doesn't make it any less special. I'm gonna quote some of it just because I think it's so cool and awesome of my Grandma Marge to write me like that.
"I just finished your book and was very impressed and enjoyed it very much. You didn't have page after page of description like so many novels I've read. You had conversation and action. It was great and I'm looking forward to the next one.
....
Love and best wishes to you and Milexis
Your #1 fan
Grandma Marge"
That's the coolest thing that's happened to me as a writer so far. I'm definitely keeping that letter for posterity. Thanks, Grandma.
P.S. she also asked "What's with the 'boot and puddles'" in my dedication. I didn't think that that many people would care about a silly dedication, but I guess so. Should I tell her what it's about?
