As my new novel, “Inheriting S.O.F.I.A.” has been out there now on Amazon.com for a few months, I’ve been able to grasp the response to it, and I’m very happy. Writing a novel while holding down a full time job is a monumental task so it has been extremely encouraging to find that it is being well received. Although things can always change, I’m humbled to find that I have a majority of 5 star reviews, followed by 4 stars, and just a few three stars. I don’t fault the three starers at all as not every book is for everyone, of course, but do allow myself some happiness that they are well out-numbered, at least for now.
As these are all done by readers on their own volition, I just wanted to take a moment to wholeheartedly thank those that had taken the time to leave their ratings. Only a couple of readers have written out their thoughts of those who rating reviewed it, but I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback and encouragement. What seems like just taking a few moments to jot down your thoughts on a product you purchased, is so very important to us authors. I am very humbled and appreciative of those reviews as they are truly a gift that I will cherish, even if other reviewers don’t have that same opinion.
This has really inspired me to carve out more time for writing and I’m delving back into my next novel project, “Burts Bots“, for which I’m fleshing out the rest of the outline for now. I’d gotten so excited by this project that I took a brief detour and already wrote four chapters of the novel, before finishing the outline. Going back to the Outline now, though, as it’s almost done, and I need to have the big picture in mind as I get into the rest of the first draft.
I sincerely thank all of those that had purchased my first novel, or read it on Kindle Unlimited, and hope that you enjoyed the story.
