Thank you for sharing, Erika. Showing up courageous, honest, vulnerable, real. I understand this happens to most authors somewhere along the line, each time it's deeply personal. Know that you have readers everywhere who have enjoyed your book, as I have; learned so much about our planet, climate, oil, history all in the background of a very personal family story ---- I couldn't put it down. You write with clarity and experience with parts of reality we should all be paying more attention to. Reading your book has influenced the way I think about researching my own family roots, taking into consideration the context of the world in which they lived. Keep writing. Anna Marie
Oh Erika. I guess it’s nice to know you’re in such good company on this one (and I blame the snow!). Thank you for writing about this so honestly and beautifully.
I am incredibly moved by this, Erika — thank you for digesting and sharing the experience as it is happening. I can relate so much. And now I've finally purchased your book, as I meant to do months ago! Keep writing, please, keep writing.
Bravo Erika! I have been to author events in our community with only 2 others in the audience, and it’s hard on the author and bookshop for sure. There’s no sugarcoating it, which is why I appreciate the rawness of your essay here so much. I encourage you to try to publish this to a wider audience of book authors. Keep writing!
Thank You Erika for sharing this. Hang your head high for you wrote a great story that I have enjoyed and shared and I too blame it on the snow! Take Care, your Boise fan, Diane

Got onto this from your post on Binders. Thank you for sharing it - all so true and candid. (And funny too!)

Erika- its all part of the process my dear! Hang in there, chin up. Thanks for sharing. One day you will laugh at this. Keep on doing what you do!
Loved this. You are courageous and an inspiration to me. Started your book last night and can’t wait to get into it more!
