I reached my idea of literary success. A member of my FB group site told me the first thing she did was read my book and then she became an audiobook narrator and just narrated and produced her 1st book. That is why I write. To help others. To me that is success.
I have read some of my book reviews. I read them and depending on what is said, I may or may not respond. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, whether good or bad, and not everyone will like or agree with what I write. So far, so good.
