Thanks for this, Joy--The greatest reward for the hard (but fun!) work of putting together a novel is the reaction of readers. My book isn't finished when I type "The End," it's only finished when readers pick it up and view the story through the lens of their own feelings and experiences. It's a journey we take together. Thank you for inspiring others to take this journey too!
