I have friends and acquaintances who have read Soul Riders, many of the 400 who attended the book launch at The Angus Barn, and contacted me with comments on the book. I was excited to learn that the book exceeded their expectations and provided an enjoyable "read". The creative storyline was the most common item mentioned in addition to how well the story, and the characters, flowed throughout the book .
Most of the attendees (Angus Barn) know me from the banking world where I deal in structured finance lending and complicated tax credit developments. They were pleasantly surprised by Soul Riders quality and conscious avoidance of crude language like many authors. The discussions surrounding my next two novels, Fatal Decisions and Portrait of Greed, generated lots of interest from everyone.
Publishing a first book is an experience in itself, but when coupled with the interaction from actual readers your emotions range from fear of rejection to exhilaration. No one ever said it was going to be easy and it isn't. But the long ride uphill has just begun and there is still a heavy load to bear as I continue to market my work.
