Dear Reader,
Phew, you made it! You’ve scoured this mysterious thing that is the internet, and you’ve found my little nook in the universe…My Star Wars Cantina. While I might be on various forms of social media, it’s always good to have a central place where I can update everyone on what I’m working on. So, welcome to headquarters.
I’m grateful for each of you that have reached out to me in some way or another over the years. Maybe you asked me a question about a book, or about the craft of writing, or maybe pointed out an error on my website (yes, that has happened – thank you), or perhaps you left a heartfelt review of one my stories. However we’ve come together, thanks for reading my books, and (hopefully) enjoying them. Either way, I feel your passion and enthusiasm, and am motivated by it. I appreciate your patience.
I have so many projects I want to work on… So many story ideas. My creative shadow follows me around, stalking, and pokes and prods me incessantly. I can’t shake him. So, I keep writing. Sometimes faster than others, but I get there. There’s no feeling quite as exhilarating as getting a book into your hands, and having you love it.
Thanks for being part of my tribe—for sticking with me. I’m looking forward to learning from you.
Your fan, in kind,
Justin
