Letter From the Author

Update: The author did have a professional editor.
Hi, Jessica!
You know what? You're right. I should get rid of that stupid letter.
As a first-time novelist, I was worried that the book might be full of mistakes. After going cross-eyed from working on the book for 12 months straight, I started to feel that I was too close to the material to spot errors. I figured putting that note in there would divert people's critiquing energies into sending me helpful emails instead of roasting the book in reviews. I hadn't considered that the note itself might be putting people off.
Would you be so kind as to have that follower of your blog send me a message with her address? I'll send her a print copy. :)
Thanks for your insight! I'm new to this and I really appreciate the help.
