I stumbled across this meme online yesterday, when I was writing about the Times India article, and I immediately knew I had to share it! :-) Of course I would never claim that my books are better than Harry Potter or any other book or series. The nice thing about being a reader is that you don't have to have one single favourite. It's not like supporting a sports team, where you see the other teams as the enemy. When I read a good book, I want to go on and read MORE good books, regardless of who they were written by. I've never seen writers as being in competition with one another. The more good books that are out there, the better for all of us, as that wide-ranging quality is what brings new readers to our world of literature and hopefully keeps them there, flitting from one book and author to another. While I find it very complimentary if a fan says to me that they only read my books, I also feel sorry for them, because I know there's so much else out there that would delight them too, and some of it might even touch them more than mine. Unlikely, to be sure, but hey, you never know unless you try!!! :-) :-) :-)

Oh, and here's the page where I found the meme: https://imgflip.com/i/noti2
