Don't give up

I detected quite a sense of disillusionment coming from you when you announced that your book hadn't made the big list. Don't be too disheartened though, there are plenty of good loyal listeners who appreciate your work, and who do buy your books when they can. Perhaps the sales dip was partly due to the material not being new? We have pretty much all heard the Ancestor story before, and my guess is that there were many who didn't want to buy something which wasn't novel. Time to re-evaluate your release schedule? Perhaps bump Mt Fitzroy up the calendar (hint hint). Anyway, this isn't to rag on you at all. You've taken bigger hits on the chin before now, and you've come up fighting even harder, and you've won too. Thanks, and if you have any thoughts on stopping what you do... please don't. You have quite a rare gift for awesome story-telling. Cheers Reggie (pseudonym) in New Zealand (that's the country 3500 miles south west of San Fran, and about 2 hours flight east of Oz).
