I just want to thank everyone reading Doe Hollow for making this writing process such a positive and exciting experience. I can't believe I already broke 100 reads in my first week, and I can't express how much I appreciate each and every one. This story means so much to me for so many reasons, and I'm immeasurably happy that several of you have had such a positive reaction to it. As a female veteran with PTSD myself (though not nearly to the extent that I describe in Doe Hollow), I felt that this was a story that desperately needed to be told. Our society focuses so much on the effects of PTSD on male veterans and their families, but barely seems to acknowledge its effects on us female veterans and our lives and families. It's heartening to me to see you follow and react to Abby's struggle with her illness and her interactions with her family and friends. As well as her romance with James, which I know is highly idealized, but hey- this is fiction after all. ;) Just thank you all, so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. I don't really know how this message board works, but I hope everyone can see this and know how much I appreciate you all. <3

Thank you for the follow, and I'm indeed intrigued with your story. I'm so reading it. I never met a female veteran before, so I'm new at this. Thank you for serving our country!  And I'm hope you find your journey through Wattpad!   And have happiness in life as well! Stay you and stay true! :)

Thank you! The story is by no means autobiographical, but you know how they say to "write what you know" so I stuck with rural Western Kentucky, the Air Force, mental illness, and threw in some romance to lighten the mood. :) It's just amazing to me that some of you are reading and really enjoying the story. I know it has a long way to go as far as being novel quality (and quantity) but the format of Wattpad has really helped me get the story out of my head and inspired me to do so much more with it. I appreciate your feedback and would love to know what you think as you read Doe Hollow. :)
