    I just got a random email from someone saying they love reading my books and I am one of their favourite authors ever.

    I figured it was just a spam email since I get them frequently - usually wanting to sell me something - and its too my author outlook email which is advertised in the books and on my twitter profile, etc.

    Check the email address and it’s from an education email address - so the ones they give assign to kids at school.

    Could still be a bored student taking the piss, but I choose to believe I just got my first ever fan e-mail.

        Right!

        I’d love to say thank you but the way the world is, it probably isn’t a good idea.

            It didn’t say the school - email address was like a state wide one - but worked out a solution that will hopefully work.

      I would have loved to have you in as a book week author but my clientele are just a bit too young I reckon.

      That nice fuzzy warm feeling when someone appreciates your work is so heartwarming.

        It is an amazing feeling. Really motivates me to keep going when that motivation can be lacking.
