May I ask what inspired/s you to write?

Nik, I have taken a photograph of your book for my latest blog post, entitled ‘Dear Reader..’ (lesleyjjackson.wordpress.com.) I thought it was the perfect one to use but maybe I need to have your permission to use it? Please let me know if you are happy with it being there. If not, I will gladly change it straight away.
Hi Leslie – nope, no permission needed at all. I’m thrilled you wanted to use it. (If you did want to help, all I’d ask you to do if you wanted, would be to review it or rate it over at your blog or amazon or Goodreads or wherever you felt suitable.) Thanks for using it! That makes me happy!
Hi Abby – that sounds wonderful! Lots of things inspire me to write. People mostly, I think, good and bad!
Thank you! I’m happy to rate and review the book. I’ve read it several times over. Consider it done.
That’d be splendid! Thanks again!
