Of course there were lots of children’s books, my favourite comic, all read to me. I’ve never needed any encouragement to read books! When very young I recall looking at the pictures, longing to read the words beneath. I promise that being mentioned in the same sentence with the outstanding Alice Munro has not gone to my head!
It is an incredible feeling when someone is deeply touched and affected by one’s work and a terrific boost to one’s writely self. This is true for one recent review for my book “The Storyteller Speaks” and within a few paragraphs it delivered a positive punch to my spirits. Personally, I treasure every single review! I’m uplifted and heartened by this precious gift of time and energy. At times (not nearly often enough!) I take a step further and with joy review the book and as a writer, I fully appreciate what this means to fellow authors.
Wouldn’t our existence be monotonous and bland if we didn’t share our lives, thoughts, events and experiences? Sharing with family and friends is at the core of living and so it is with books.įinishing a book I am always keen to talk about it with a person close to me, chatting away about the story, the characters development and the emotions evoked.
