It's one of those things you always dream of. At some point in time, everyone wants to be the star of something. I used to want to be the star of the ballet. Then I wanted to be the star of the symphony (yup, I played clarinet).
One day it occurred to me that I wanted to be an author. I wanted to write stories that touched the hearts of readers. That, I accomplished. I wrote several romance novels that earned wonderful reviews. I received letters from readers who loved my characters and my vivid description. I even had two stalkers for a bit. Is that stardom? You can actually still get some of them in print or in eBook formats. You should check me out, I am really am quite good.
After becoming an author, it occurred to me that I might be good at something else. So I became a publisher. Some say I am really good at that. There are days when I sit and wonder if that is even remotely true. Then I look at the stacks of books on the shelves around me, and I visit the Echelon Press warehouse, and I do Google searches on some of the authors affiliated with Echelon Press. Luisa Buehler, Robert Goldsborough, J.A. Konrath, Mary Cunningham, Mary Welk, Tim Broderick, the list goes on. These are exceptional authors and each of them has a unique talent.
Then I get to Jeff Sherratt. Just when I am having one of those days when I wonder why, I get the most simple of e-mails that speaks to me of the relationships that you build when you work with people. The star above was in that e-mail, sent to me by Jeff.
It was a small gesture, but it meant more than all the words in the world could. But this isn't just about Jeff. This is about every author who submits to Echelon. It is about every author who signs a contract with Echelon. And more than that, it is about every reader who picks up an Echelon book from a library or bookstore or even borrows from a friend.
Each of you are the stars on the horizon and I would personally like to thank each of you for lighting up my skies.
