Hmm my response seems to have vanished! Anyway 196K isn’t a lot of readers considering the costs associated with publishing. I’m glad she is persistently following her dreams though. I also can understand a publishing house sipping on her. Besides an ebook is so much more sound for the environment over a paper book. Save the trees!

I cosign with that Sir, She found her own path and then mobilized she is fortunate to have such fortitude to power on through despite the continuous repulsion received from so many publishers. It must have been very difficult not to succumb to disillusionment and give up.

Yeah, but I bet you 🙂 that some of those publishing houses are playing kickball with their kesters after seeing her success. No matter what angle a person looks at it a diamond is a diamond, and a lost opportunity is a lost opportunity. 🆒
