From My Desk to a Reader's Heart: The Final Voyage of Beautiful Wilderness

As an author, there’s no moment quite as nerve-wracking as sending an advanced copy to a reader. You start thinking maybe the story's not ready, or what if there's a typo (spoiler alert: there was).

I've poured my heart and soul into the story and fallen in love with the world and characters inside—but will anyone else? I was so excited to send Kendra my new romance, Beautiful Wilderness, but I was also incredibly nervous. I held my breath, hoping she would connect with the characters as much as I did.

When her review came back, I was overwhelmed. Not only did she give it a 5-star rating, but her words perfectly captured the essence of the story I hoped to tell. She called it "a good escape from reality" and said it was "beautifully written." Her feedback gave me the validation every author dreams of.

She also mentioned how much she loved that the female main character was from the city and had to step outside of her comfort zone. This was so important to me. I wanted to create a character whose journey wasn't just about finding love, but also about finding strength and resilience she didn't know she had.

It’s an incredible feeling to know that the story I love so much is one that a reader loves too. I can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself—let me know what you think when you do!
