[@lee48lee68]

This wonderful man introduced her to the world not realizing she would one day return the favour.

[@dickyvee]

I didn’t cry the whole time! Until I read your comment 😭

This comment is golden

My man makes it to the top, and uses the platform to plug other authors' works. Doesn't get better than that.

[@lisaferrin]

That he would receive other great authors during his moment of glory?! What a class act!! Beautiful story!

[@raptorgod77]

Incredible

[@sbtopjosh4098]

He even gave a shoutout to other authors who he believed should be given a chance

[@matthewfournier6478]

His daughter is a class act. Good Job. Author and Dad!!

[@jackyray6088]

Props to the man for shouting out other authors who never got their shine.

[@abbeytaylor]

This story has had me sobbing since the first TikTok. Truly a touching story and proud to say I contributed to buying his book!

[@lehon481]

Was it a good book!?

[@brennanparent6021]

I’m considering buying it since I love crime books! Please tell us if it it worth it

[@MrFarid345]

Still promote others work... What a great man.. great dad.. great writer..

[@margaritavaldes6365]

There is a sequel!?? 😊 we need that one too!!! Stone Maidens it’s a great read!!

[@kirkmonteclar564]

Why am I crying?! Why are you crying watching this?❤❤❤

[@salmaselmaoui1397]

I wrote a poetry book and published it myself on Amazon. But guess what, no one ever read it. Absolutely no single one. I still hope that people find it or a miracle happens to me as well. I’m so happy for this man, it’s so relatable how exasperated he was at first

[@thevintaaagediaries]

How ist it called? I‘m sry that your work isn’t appreciated as it should be. love from austria ❤

[@lee48lee68]

[@susanrichards9144]

I hope people find your book too!!

[@Awesomewonder]

"They really are reading." yeah, i understand why he said that. Promoting reading materials in the right platform is really important so readers can get to it.

[@liznyaga5525]

Came here after reading Tim Dennings newsletter. Glad I discovered this author. Netizens are so kind sometimes. Glad he became a bestseller. His sunset years will be very comfortable, and he deserves it. 14 years writing a book is no joke.

[@pbg624]

I’m honestly tearing up. It’s been my dream to become an author since I was a teenager and I have been a bookworm my entire life so it honestly makes me so happy to see small authors like this make it big. Please if you can support small authors.

[@officalprime]

tell me our book i would love to read it

[@Skanda1111]

When a community comes together great things happen.

[@kosar98]

Why She talks so much the other interviewer didn’t have any chance 😮

[@heru-deshet359]

Sad that the only way to get people to read is by first showing it on social media, which is what everyone does this generation.

[@zutzun8230]

Can we a “Stoned Manservant” or “Stoned Bachelor” ?

[@lopezahus3117]

Buy book for other reasons We call it pity to someone else Nice job social media drama
