Glynis Smy - Author of Historical Romance/Suspense: Thanks to Valuable Blog Followers...I am Flying High

Thanks to Valuable Blog Followers...I am Flying High

I have 128 followers on this blog, and I thank each and everyone of you. You visit on random days, and I love you all for giving up the time to visit. I do not teach here, nor do I write anything of great writing value and often wonder why you visit.
Politeness because I have visited blog yours is one reason I am sure. Another is because, as a writer you know how hard it is to reach the goal, and you want to support this aspiring writer.

All visitors are valuable, they boost my moral (and ego).
You teach me, make me laugh and sometimes, cry with your generous words.

I have been encouraged by recent support from aspiring and published writers, editors and an agent...yes I had a very supportive email from one outside of my genre, pushing me forward after he read my last post. This girl was flying high from words I can tell you!

The post would not have been written if it had not been for Emily Bryan. When it was read by Helen Ginger and she left a comment, I just had to publish the comment.

Thank you all for your support. My confidence has returned, I know I can do this. I know that every step I take toward that goal, is given firmer ground because of you--my followers.

Ripper, My Love >The Blurb

Growing up in late nineteenth century East London, Kitty Harper’s life is filled with danger and death – from her mother, her beloved neighbour and the working women of the streets. With her ever-watchful father and living surrogate family though, Kitty feels protected from harm. In fact, she feels so safe that while Whitechapel cowers under the cloud of a fearsome murderer, she strikes out on her own, moving into new premises to accommodate her sewing business.

But danger is closer than she thinks. In truth, it has burrowed itself right into her heart in the form of a handsome yet troubled bachelor, threatening everything she holds dear. Will Kitty fall prey to lust – and death – herself, or can she find the strength inside to fight for her business, sanity and her future? And who is the man terrifying the streets of East London?
