A GENUINE Author!!?

I just had to share with
you a portion of a letter I received from my very dear friend, Katy Walters -author of the Lords of Rhonan Series.

 

***I wanted to
give you a bit of background into Katy’s life recently. She has problems with
her hands and wasn’t able to type for some time. Thankfully, she’s much better
now. But it did stop her being able to work as usual.***

  

Katy wrote – I
had just finished two new crime novels when I had an email from a reader,
asking when the third book to the Rhonans would be ready. To be quite honest
Mimi, I didn’t intend writing a third as I had begun to lose interest and the
books weren’t selling overly, just poodling along, so I thought – I would write
what interested me. Hence the two crime books. However, the guy – yes – a guy
reading romance, and paranormal at that, wrote that he bought the first Rhonan
book to read on the plane, and was so immersed, he downloaded the second book
whilst on holiday and is “now waiting with bated breath for third” and last
Rhonan. I felt so guilty. Here was someone waiting for the third and last book.
It would take me months to write another Rhonan. But I knew I would have to put
the editing of the crime books to one side. For me the one reader is as
important as the many, and this reader was that one.

 

When I read this
section of her letter, I stopped and closed my eyes and truly delved inside. Would
I do this? Could I take months to write a book that I had given up on? That I
had no heart for?

 

Could you? ….Would
you?

 

I guess a genuine
author who wanted to please her readers – did!
