Another reason I like this job

In what other line of work do you routinely get thanked for things you did 15 years ago? This popped into my email box this morning from New Mexico:

Dear Mr. Sawyer,

I used to be a big SF reader, and somehow fell away from the genre.

But that all changed last month. I discovered the Quintaglio Ascension trilogy. These books could not be put down. They are fantastic. I finished all 3 in record time, for me. This is the best reading experience I've had in 20 plus years. Now, as the weekend approaches, I'll be off to the bookstore for the rest of your books.

It really does feel good to know that work I did that long ago is still giving people pleasure. :)
