Today's digital age makes life as an author slightly different to how it may have been for previous generations. 

The social media industry means everyone is much more accessible than before. We can now follow our favourite writers, designers, musicians and actors and learn about their lives outside of the professions we know and love them for. 

It's also great for us - the people you've chosen to follow. We're offered the opportunity to get to know our readers and interact with them on a daily basis. It creates a different sense of community for both author and readers that wasn't available to us previously. 

There's nothing better than hearing how your story affected someone, how the characters developed in their mind and sometimes, the ways in which the journey of your characters helped them through their real story. 

Today's blog post is dedicated to those of you that take the time to get in touch with us either by sending us an email or reaching out to us on social media channels. 

Below we've shared (with permission from those who sent them) a few of the lovely stories we've received recently.
