I have a wonderful supporter of my work. Linda always brightens my day when I get an email from her and recently she dropped by one of my book signings. She made a point of letting me know what my books have meant to her and to people she has given them to, and for an author, hearing these things is such a gift.
Linda recently gave her aunt Louise a Christmas present--a copy of Whale Song that I had signed and personalized. I guess Louise was too excited to wait until Christmas (lol), so she read Whale Song and sent Linda an email about how much she enjoyed it. Here is part of Louise's email; she has given me permission to share it here:
"I am just overwhelmed by the book you gave me - I just finished Whale Song. The thought that anyone can write this quality of narrative just blows me apart. I did so much crying that my shirt was soaked. It's so well written - I'm sorry I didn't go to Amazon and buy the book as soon as you mentioned it to me [several months ago]. I'll know better next time. I will have complete trust in your judgment from now on - believe me! I started reading the novel before reading about the author so as I kept reading, the narrative seemed so real that I actually thought she had lived through this...There's more, but I just wanted to say - it's one of the best books I've ever read and I'm truly grateful that you had it signed by the author!" --Louise Dancause
Thank you, Louise, for your kind and touching words. I will treasure them.
And thank you, Linda, for continuing to support my novels by gifting them to your friends and family. I hope my writing never disappoints you.
~Cheryl Kaye Tardif,
bestselling author of Whale Song
