New and helpful friends.

I have to be honest, when I was told to use twitter as a promotional tool for Angels Blood I was a little panicked. Not only hadn't I used twitter before, I wasn't altogether sure what it was I was supposed to write in it. But I persevered and kept plugging away at it. Eventually I met some really wonderful people, @BooksandSpoons, @ianstories, and @mistersalesman, to name but a few. I was very suprised at the support I received, and their willingness to help was outstanding.
My twitter acount just kept picking up, getting better and better as time went on, and now I have over two and a half thousand followers. Needless to say I wish to thank them, and to let them know how much I appreciate all their help and the time they took talking me through the so many things I didn't understand.
It just goes to show you can find new friends in the most unusual places, even if you don't acctually know what they look like sometimes.
So many many thanks to those of you who had so much patience with a newbie like myself, I wish you all the best.
Until next time :)

Always a pleasure to interact with, encourage, teach and advise anyone in need. We all need a good natter and a new friend. To you, sallyann, it has always been a pleasure no matter what we get to chat about and as a new fan of your work, you'll have my support for as long as you want it. It's great to see a new writer flourish, the confidence build and it's reflected in Angels Blood. From the first page to the last, you grew into it yourself, finding the courage to do it and feeling the enjoyment from it, the reader feels that too.
I don't believe in cotton wool ball reviews, as a writer myself, I tend to tell it like it is which is the ONLY way to learn. Sometimes I may be a little hard or direct but it's because I think enough of you, as a person, and as a writer, to know that what I say is for the best and to make you better ;). Believe me, an established author pretty much ripped Salby Damned apart, hence another edit due. I was not offended, I take it as a compliment that an established author gives me their time and in doing so, I'll pass on their advice to you and anyone willing to have the courage to write for the world.
There are some fantastic people in Twitter, genuine friends of whom, in my life, there have been and are very few. I'd like to think that you have become of of such friends. Oddly, I was in Swansea yesterday hehehe
