The most rewarding is when a reader contacts me and says "That was the best
book. I so loved it." I love sharing my worlds and the people in it and when others
love it as much as I do, I feel that it we're connected by the experience and that's
such a wonderful feeling.
TB: Is there anything you’d like to share with your readers?
I'd like to say thank you. To everyone who has shared my worlds, walked with me
through a tale, laughed or cried or gotten pissed off -- thank you. I know how
precious reading dollars, and reading time is, and I am honored and grateful that
you spend yours with me. I never forget that it's the readers who make it possible
for me to keep doing what I love. They give me the greatest gift of all and I hope I
can repay that in part with stories they enjoy.
EXCERPT from GRADY JUDD
“Sixty-five on pump three.” Grady busily peeled
cash from his wallet as he stopped at the
checkout counter of the gas station just outside
the town limits.
Had he paid attention, he might have chosen to
wait until he reached the other side of town
before gassing up. If he had, he would have
avoided the slap that had him grabbing the
hand that delivered it hard enough to almost
jerk the woman across the counter as she
snarked at him.
