MANIC: Rook and Ronin, #2 Read online

  I'm OK with that because I, too, am patient.

  End of Book Shit

  I made this cover, and RJ did the editing as usual. She deserves a lot of thanks for this one because this is the first book that came back with no plot edits. If I'm finally getting the hang of this book writing stuff it's because RJ has taught me how to do it. She corrects me over and over again, patiently, and there is not enough room here to explain how much I've learned from her edits. I told her once a while back that it's a habit now. When I write something—it doesn't matter what, every word, every sentence—I can hear her. And I always, always know which words will force her to create a comment bubble for me. LOL… She's the voice in my head now because of all those hundreds and hundreds of comment bubbles. So again, thank you, RJ.

  I've also had a lot of new help lately—most notably in the form of The Triple M Book Club. God, I owe you ladies a whole bunch. I'm probably gonna have to send you some signed paperbacks or my first-born child or something. Also, some very big book blogs picked TRAGIC up and I owe them as well. I won't name all of you because I'm sure I'll miss someone and then I'll feel bad afterward, but thank you.

  New authors ask (I know this because I used to wonder it myself) what did you do to make your book popular? And I finally have an answer. Nothing. All I did was write the book. I had no idea if people would like it, I'm just lucky they did. I didn't make any of this happen with TRAGIC. Not one bit. Readers make the books take off or flop. That's all there is to it. So, to all you readers who fell in love with this story—thank you. I hope this book lives up to the last and I hope you enjoy how the story of Rook and Ronin ends in the next book.

  Also, a HUGE thank you to my Indie Inked girls! I love you ladies!

  As I write this, TRAGIC has one hundred and seven Amazon reviews. Wow. I guess my pleading for reviews at the end of the book helped! Please, please, pretty please—do it again! :)

  THANK YOU!
