Hello, Champions!
I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for all of your encouragement and support! I was dreading telling you Champions about the book delays because it felt like I was letting you down, but your outpouring of emails and comments on the blog, discord, and my facebook pages reminded me just how special our community is, and how blessed I am to have some of the best readers ever. I can’t even put into words how much your support and concern for my health means to me. (There’s been some ugly crying as I’ve been reading your kind and heartfelt messages.)
And to reassure you all, I really am doing okay. Out of all the health stuff and issues I’m facing, I was most concerned about how you all would take the delay. As a reader, I’ve also experienced the disappointment that comes with an author delaying a book release and I never wanted to delay something so far out like this as a result. I can’t tell you how much happier I’ve been since I told you all, and your messages have come poring in. (In a funny twist, I’ve been able to write more of Retha #4 the past two days than the previous week–I think it’s the sheer relief.)
Thank you so much, Champions, for everything.
You would never let us down Kitty, We love you too much and you are an amazing writer!!!
Your health is always more important than release dates!
You could never let us down, you’re too awesome! I’m so glad our comments made you feel better! And I’m THRILLED that Retha is coming along now!!! Yay, Kitty!
Please kitty, never feel like your letting us down. Your an amazing author and work so hard for us. Please take care of yourself. Stress is the worst thing for healing. We all love you and want you healthy.
Side note. I’m so happy your going to be able to work on putting your books on audio!! Hobam is amazing!!
We’re here for you, Kitty! No worries about the delays! Take care of yourself! You’re way more important than a book (even if they are the MOST amazing books ever =D)!
Of course, Miss Kitty! We love you, and we have to take care of (or let you take care of?) the best author WE’RE blessed to have!
P.S. My fellow Champions, y’all are amazing too!!
I am glad that your health issues aren’t serious Kitty. I am pretty new to being a Champion, only becoming one early March (so make that REALLY new) but this community feels like a great place and I was very sad to here you are experiencing these health issues. I love your books!!!!
Welcome to the community! We’re glad you’re here!
(sorry if this is weird)
Kitty, we are blessed to have you. Take care of yourself and best wishes for swift recoveries.
We are glad you feel loved and supported! Your writing blesses us so much, we can only bless back! 😀
Really hope you feel better soon! Rest and don’t stress!
Aw please, Kitty, like we’d ever adore you and your writing any less just because of a delay. Stay healthy and remember to have some fun even if you’re stressed(that’s the only thing that really helps me)!
Your writing is worth waiting for! I will consume shot stories if you have them to bide the time! Take care of yourself!
Amen to that, sister! Also, I don’t know if you meant it or not, but I LOVE the term ‘Shot Stories’! Can I adopt that please?
It’s not like it’s a George R R Martin level of delay.
LOL
