Thank you for such kind words. To have my writing described in such a way, and to know it had such an effect on someone makes me feel as though I have accomplished what I set out to do. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts
You gave me 20,000 words to read, it only felt fair to give a few in return. I'm glad you took it as praise, I was worried that describing it as making me uneasy could come across as an insult, when it's certainly not. I had no expectations going in, and I got a whole lot more than I could've ever anticipated. Your writing style really suits this kind of setting and tone.
