5 Reasons Why Authors Love Readers by Tina Radcliffe (+ Giveaway)

1. They get us and our story worlds. Readers understand that characters in our books are very real. They email us to check on them and to let us know if those characters made ill-advised decisions. They really participate in the stories and the characters and want to know when the next book in the series is coming. Readers are willing to get lost in our story worlds. They trust us to build that world solidly, and so well that they are also willing to suspend their belief a little bit for the greater story good. Readers are with us every inch of the way as we construct a new story town or planet. A few notes from readers.

As women, we struggle to feel like we’re good enough because we are bombarded daily with messages that whisper, “Who you are is not okay.” We live in a world that tells us we have to look a certain way, live a certain lifestyle, have husbands who fit a certain mold, and have children that excel in every area of their lives. And rather than thrive in the life we have, we strive to create an existence that impresses others. This impossible treadmill leaves us with deep discontentment and a joyless existence. God doesn’t apologize for how He created us. And whil...
