One of the best things to come out of writing Alone In The Light is the connections I have made with people who have read it.
I have been contacted by people who I might otherwise never interact with. They've informed me how much the story has spoken to them and how much they've been able to connect with the characters I've created. On multiple occasions, I've struck up wonderful new friendships with these readers.
That, to me, is success. That, to me is the entire purpose behind this book. I'm not trying to be famous. I'm trying to connect with people and say, "Look, we're not alone. We're all out here trying to survive." In doing so - I hope that this work has, in some way, made a difference in someone's life.
If you are one of these readers-turned-friends... let me take a moment to say THANK YOU. Not for reading my book - but for reaching out to me and becoming friends with me. I cannot tell you how great this feeling is.
So, as they say on The Golden Girls, "Thank you for being a friend."
I look forward to our continued friendship in this crazy world and as I, hopefully, write more for you to read.
All my best,
Ben
