Why I'm thankful for...the book industry!

Today, I want to reach out and thank everyone reading this post.  Thank you so much for supporting me and this blog!

I feel so proud to be a part of the book industry, from small ways to bigger ones, and feel blessed to have met so many incredible people through blogging:

* For all the followers leaving thoughtful comments and fellow bloggers sharing the love of reading.
* For every writer who has ever stopped by A Backwards Story with a guest post, interview, or word of kindness, and for the ones who share their time with fans on Twitter and Facebook.
* For the publishing houses brimming with talent who care about nurturing their authors, and the publicists who work hard to help promote these titles.
* For every person who works to put together a book, be they editors, agents, cover designers, or the many other talents that work tirelessly behind the scenes to put out the best book possible.

To all of you, I am so thankful and wish you many more productive years.  May our industry continue to blossom despite its rapidly changing environment!  May we all continue to support one another and above all else, share the love of reading.
