Aren't there thousands of great ones out there already? Seriously, it's a confusion of mine. Then there's this: Why would a reader read one of my books when a river of wonderful stories flow endlessly beneath her/his click button?

Every story I write comes with the wild hope that it will bring you a smile, a tear, or a sigh.The happy ending part is a guarantee.
