So Grateful

I am so grateful to the gracious early readers of The Violets of March—bloggers, booksellers, writers and editors, industry folks, etc.. So many have been writing with the kindest things to say, and as a new author, there is nothing more exciting and special than to hear that the book you wrote was enjoyed. After all, that’s why any writer writes—in hopes that it engages a reader and tugs at their emotions. It is so lovely and wonderful. I wanted to share these three beautiful and thoughtful reviews of Violets:

*Tiffany, from A Cozy Reader’s Corner, said “Ms. Jio has proven to be a masterful story teller with this novel. It is full of depth and emotion with twist and turns that carry the reader away. … I, without doubt, have stumbled across my new favorite author. Her books are now a must read for me and I highly anticipate her next release. … I urge you to read this book. It will amaze you.”

*Sharon, of Sharon’s Garden of Book Reviews, said “Part mystery, part romance, The Violets of March is one-hundred percent an enjoyable read that will have readers anxiously awaiting Sarah Jio’s next novel. … Debut author Sarah Jio beautifully blends the stories of two women, one of the past, one of the present, together to create a captivating and enthralling novel of romance, heartache and redemption.”

*Meg, of Write Meg, wrote “Sarah Jio’s The Violets of March combines contemporary fiction, historical fiction and romance into one alluring read. … An intriguing family drama that was a truly pleasant read.”

I also have appreciated all the emails, texts, Facebook messages, and Tweets from early readers with such kind words and encouragement. Thank you! It means so much to this new author. (Seriously, when I describe myself as an author, I totally feel like I’m 9 years old stepping into my mom’s high-heel shoes! The title will start to feel more normal at some point, right?!)

    I’ve been trying to write a post about the book but I have so much to say that it’s taken me a lot longer than I thought to compile everything. Congratulations. You are an author- and a great one at that!
