I'm sure that's true, L.J.; I think it's human nature to feel that way. But gosh, your work to date has been so good, and you are acquiring a very loyal following - I would think that would be every author's dream. You're almost at that magical point where if you write it, they will come.

You're good, L.J., and that's from a 66 year-old lifetime reader of mystery and suspense. You're VERY good. And I have to say, I think it's really cool that you get on this forum and B.S. with us readers. I certainly appreciate that, and I'm sure all your readers do as well. Keep up the great work!
