I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.
I love seeing my book on shelves and getting letters from people who liked the book. I love telling stories and having other people tell stories to me.
The more I like a book, the more slowly I read. this spontaneous talking back to a book is one of the things that makes reading so valuable.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.
People seem to read so much more nonfiction than fiction, and so it always gives me great pleasure to introduce a friend or family member to a novel I believe they'll cherish but might not otherwise have thought to pick up and read.
It gives me a huge buzz when people say they've enjoyed my books, because this grew out of a hobby, and it's an absolute passion, and it's lovely when I get feedback.
Seeing people who are actually reading your book and listening to the wide variety of reactions they have to it, is really special.
