Thank you so much! I think it helps to get them attached to the people like I was. Then you see it from the human side instead of just facts and statistics. Those speak for themselves but too many people don’t connect emotionally to those. I appreciate the support.
Exactly! Even baby steps.
Thank you Tom! I appreciate that.
Thank you! I think that’s the key to the book. I mention facts ….but only after telling the story through emotions and common sense and connecting them to the people.
Me too! I’d be lying if I said I got through to everyone. I’ve gotten some 1 and 2 star ratings too. When they go on about they still can’t understand hunting, I just have to shake my head and wonder if they even read the book. To me it is makes so much common sense after you know the reality that Africa. Still, I’ll celebrate every win that I can.
Thank you! I look forward to meeting you and your wife as well!
Right!! I often wonder why someone would read a book that involves hunting if they don't hunt and aren't interested in starting? I don't read many books about subjects I have no interest in lol
Exactly. But the book is about so much more. A lot of women like it because they learn about the animals too…as well as the people. I had one woman tell me she had no idea animals acted like that! That made me laugh. But honestly, I had no idea what I was doing when I wrote the book. I was just relaying my experience and backed up my evolution of thought with research. I had no idea about marketing etc. Now I have learned that you are supposed to have a specific target group…and target the book to that. I didn’t know any of that. Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t. Maybe I should have. I don’t know.
Thanks Doug!
Pardon my delayed response. I was on vacation with the grandkids and they kept me hopping! Anyway, it is awesome to hear you are almost done with Cries of the Savanna. I hope you liked it!
