A stranger makes my day

I've had a really lovely new review on Amazon for Balancing, entitled 'Fabulous Collection', and which includes these sentences:
'These stories tell you more about who we are and how we live than a dozen big fat novels. If you like short stories, you should certainly get a copy of this book. If you think you don't like short stories, you should get two - one to surprise yourself with and one to give to someone else!'
You know, those trees through the window looked so green when I read that, and the rain looked so silver! So if you liked my book, and you want to make my day, you know what to do...

Yes, I know, Nasim - isn't it great?! I just feel so happy that someone not only liked my book but bothered to tell everyone he did in that way!

How nice - someone who doesn't have to write a review for you did, and said such inspiring things. The ultimate praise!

Well done. (You're still on my 'to read' list, btw Elizabeth, I just have a few other books to get through first).

Teresa.

Yes, Teresa, that's what's so lovely. I do hope you enjoy my stories when you get around to them...
