My first novel, Mayhem at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort, just gained its one thousandth review on Amazon. Even better, the book has managed to maintain a 4.5 rating.
It’s not a perfect book. I often tell people that I wrote it with my training wheels on. But I’ve been fortunate to find readers who’ve embraced my baby, warts and all.
I’m still learning. There are now four books in the Happy Valley series with another in the works. With each book I’ve learned something new, gotten better at the craft, but there’s still much to learn.
I appreciate everyone who’s come along on the journey—even those few reviewers who’ve been less than impressed have contributed to my growth and helped make each book better than the one before.
Tomorrow, Valentines Day, 2023, Mayhem will be featured as an Amazon Daily Deal for a mere $1.99 on Kindle. So, if you haven’t yet read it, it might be the perfect time. And if you do, I’d love your feedback.
Peace, people!
Congratulations! That’s wonderful! Kudos to you!

Leslie, congratulations! Such wonderful news. I would like to suggest to Amazon that for every outstanding review, as well as every sale, you have garnered they pay you a crisp dollar bill. Just a little pocket change for a job well done!

Wouldn’t that be lovely? The royalties aren’t bad, though! I just need to learn more about the marketing side-website, newsletter, etc. I’d sure like to be able to supplement our retirement income so I don’t have to substitute teach in my 70’s and 80’s…
