I am so honored, excited, and thrilled! A reader created fan art for Scars! And it’s beautifully done, too, depicting a scene early in the book. Just…wow. (beaming) That is such an incredible compliment for a writer to receive. As are all the wonderful, wonderful reader letters I receive! I love hearing that Scars has moved people.
Have you ever drawn fan art for a book? Ever sent a letter to a writer? If you have a favorite book, you might want to consider doing so. Authors love to hear from our readers!

Oh, I love it! That’s awesome. When I was growing up, I drew a lot of fan art as my mom read aloud to me, but I never sent it to the authors. I feel a bit egotistical for admitting it, but it’s actually one of my greatest wishes that when my book comes out readers will make fan art for it!
Lisa, that’s so cool that you drew fan art for books your mom read you! And there’s nothing wrong with wanting that for your own book. It’s a lovely feeling.
