Reviews are Good for the Ego

Whenever I wonder about why I'm writing or if I'm actually writing well, I take a moment to go read some of the reviews of my books (see them all here and here). I re-read this one (here) from several months ago from someone who read One the Edge, and I noticed I had gotten another (see below).

I really like that my book and my writing contributed to her understanding more about adventure racing and the military. That is precisely some of the reasons I wrote the novel. Lisa was every reason I wrote the book. Michael's review is amazing, but Lisa's too is amazing in it's own way. 

Then I saw these two reviews of Vapor Trail (see here) and saw that two more positive ones had come through. One from Melissa (hi! Melissa! Get back to work!) and from Ovidiu and both made me happy to be a writer. I love that Ovidiu thought the pace was quick and it was a hard-boiled mystery thriller. 

Really quite an ego boost and I'm glad that my writing is helping others and they are enjoying my stories. Motivates me to keep writing.
