For all writers the most important people are their readers.  And this is my message to all of you:

My desire to be a writer began  at the age of eight when I saw the excitement and awe on the faces of my friends as I told ghost and scary stories.  I loved how I could affect them and others, how I could thrill them, excite them, and get them involved with the characters I conjured up.

If it weren't for you, my dear readers, all my stories would remain in my head.  To all of you who have read and given your reviews of TROPICAL WARNINGS, I send my heartfelt thanks.  To those of you yet to read my novel, I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you and responding to you. 

I thought there was no greater feeling than that of completing a novel.  Then came the acceptance of that novel with my publisher, Five Star.  But neither were as great and as heart and soul felt as when I received my first letter from a reader.  "Reading Tropical Warnings was like taking a much needed and exciting vacation.  I really feel your main characters, David and Laura, have become close and intimate friends with me.  The only problem I saw with your book is that it came to an end.  I can't wait to read the next in your series."

All of you complete the purpose and meaning of my writing—you complete the communication between author and reader.  Thank you.
