Writing
is a lonely profession.
Romance writers
wrestle with a blank page to get the stories out of our head and down on paper.
We eavesdrop on strangers’ daily conversations in an attempt to create more
realistic characters. We harvest names
from the morning newspaper that might fit some future hero or heroine.
Despite
this very solitary career, the rewards of writing are great in terms of psychic
income if not monetary income. Like, for
instance, when you unexpectedly get a review like this one, below, which was
posted on amazon for my new book, Fear Of Flying:
5.0 out of 5 stars Appetizing
guilty pleasure...for sure!
“I love Leigh Court's
other books and stories and always find her an appetizing guilty pleasure. How
would you cure a fear of flying? Leigh cooks up a tantalizing romance between a
book publicist and a difficult author that both rings true and yet captures the
heat of passion we've come to expect of her. My only suggestion is that she
never mention that other book again, the one with the Grey in it. Her books are
far better written, with real characters and no cardboard or cartoons anywhere.
I can't wait for my next guilty pleasure from Leigh Court's hot little pen.”
Wow!
That reviewer claims I’m a better author than E.L. James. That’s heady stuff!!
Not
many of us can quit our day jobs and support ourselves from book sales, but a
writer writes. It’s what we do. We can’t stop telling stories, whether people
read them or not. But a review like the one above makes all the effort worth
it!
Thanks
for letting me share,
Leigh
