The fact that my characters or worlds or story, which have filled up my heart and mind for so long, can do the same for another is extremely rewarding. Nothing can ever beat an excited reader taking time to reach out and tell me how much they love one of my books. Tell us your most rewarding experience since being published. By telling our stories, sharing them, I believe we can open up more paths of learned conversations and healing.
