I got another review yesterday, I've just read it back five times and I am speechless. There are so many emotions going through my brain right now I simply don't know which one to express first. Here is the review for one of my latest books, 'Stranded':
.
"Firstly whatever I write here will not do this book and author justice.
I originally read this book to support the author who I met years ago, so I was lucky to read this book before purchasing it. I will be 100% honest I didn’t expect to be so mesmerised and inspired but this book did change my way of thinking and to be perfectly honest changed my life. Again I thank you Lewis!
Basically I had been plodding along in my little life, not taking chances and turning the opportunities down I had of quitting the 9-5 and following a dream, a career I had so much passion for but no confidence that I could achieve it. I read this book and changed my thought process, I can’t just plod along. I needed to live my life, mistakes, gambles, happiness whatever my new actions good or bad I was to be living! Fast forward 4 months; I no longer require anxiety medication, I moved, changed careers and I’m happy.
Can’t wait to read the others!"

When I ask myself why I spend hours upon weeks upon months writing books I don't think of the money. Of course, money would make my life so much easier - but I write because I want to inspire; I want my stories to be the reason people think differently and feel motivated; I want to look back and think I entertained people and made them feel good about themselves...
I look at this review and think if I stopped writing right this second I would be happy, because I have inspired someone. I reached out to someone and literally changed their life. I just want to reach out to her and give her a big hug, because she has unexpectedly helped me fulfil one of my dreams. This is a feeling that I don't want to go away, and I hope is replicated in the future.
I really hope to inspire and engage a lot more of you. Life is about entertaining yourself. I'm just thankful this wonderful person opened her heart and let me entertain her...

Thank you! It is an incredible feeling to inspire someone and I just feel simply lost for words. The review itself is inspiration for me to keep writing :-)
