Anita's Attic: A Good Feeling

Have you heard the song that goes, “oh, oh sometimes, I get a good feeling…” Well, it goes something like that. I'm probably butchering it. But anyway, my kids and Austin love that song, and actually I do too. I don’t know what the person is singing about--I'm not 100% sure if it's a man or a woman singing--It could be drugs for all I know, but it sounds upbeat and it does make me feel good.

But when it comes to good feelings, what really gives makes me smile is hearing from readers. It's so amazing to read an email from someone who has taken the time to not only buy and read the books, but to thank me for my stories. Wow. I've made an impact in this person's life. Maybe it's only a small one, but that's mind boggling for me. When I started writing, I couldn’t imagine reaching readers, much less having fans. When hubby says, "What are you doing?" and I say, "I'm answering fan mail" it's a very surreal. Me, answering fan mail.

But it isn't just humbling and exciting, it's scary. I mean, I owe these readers. They've invested in me and I have to deliver. Book after book after book. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I LOVE my readers and I love writing. I just hope the readers keep on enjoying my stories. 

Here are a few of my feel-good emails (without the names). 

I have just gotten lost in both of your books! I have read everyone's and yet...your suspense and love stories are so real to how I imagine it would be! I think you are absolutely wonderful and Thank You ever so much for these characters and stories!.....I can't wait for the next! Bless you and your family!

I was wondering when the next book was coming out in Highlander Warrior Series? I have read both books and I am itching for more! LOL! 

Not long ago, I found Awaken and just tonight I finished Embrace.  They were both absolutely wonderful!  I love how you crafted all of these wonderful characters, created superbly interwoven plot lines, and developed a sizzling suspense that has me itching for the next novel… I so look forward to reading more.  I haven't been this excited about a series in a long time.  Thank you!

I have read both books and I loved them. I could not put it down.  My question is if you are planning to write a third one.  We still don't really know why Tristol wants Shay and why does Shay and Bree have special abilities. In addition, I also want to know what is going to happen to Duncan and Sorcha? Is she his mate? What behind her constant need to hurt Duncan? I really hope that you are writing another book in this series.

I have been waiting impatiently for the next book in your highland series. I read the first two within a day of them coming out and I hope you are continuing the series. I read a lot of highland warrior romance. On average a book every two days and I can honestly say I find yours by far the most imaginative and riveting. Please don’t let us Anita fans down. Keep writing, I need my Anita highlander fix!!!                    

Now that gives a writer a good feeling!
