"I have been blown away by the writers who have taken the time to read my book, to reach out and share their thoughts. And booksellers, too--as a reader you're not aware of the enormous impact of bookseller support, but I can see it now as a writer. The support I've had for The Ruin has been nothing short of fantastic, and I'm so grateful to all the booksellers who have gotten behind the book. To have the book chosen for Indies Introduce was a fabulous bonus! The time commitment from the booksellers involved in choosing the list must have been immense, so thank you to everyone involved!"
