Long before e-readersNancy Drew might have crossed your eleven year old palm. You were pleased to find a hardback book the adults approved of and where you could escape chores and homework for a short while. You mentally fell into them. You fell in love. You fell in love with reading.
Now skip merrily forward to our iPad world and note the levels of escape and excitement. They’re healthy and not to be sneezed at. Hardbacks are rare and Kindles are king but the feel of a paperback still has a bit of warm fuzziness.
Stir in your own name as the author then the fuzziness sizzles. When you’re asked for an autographed copy of your print book, when you’re asked to dedicate a copy to a fantastically supportive husband, an exuberant daughter or even an obnixious double first cousin…well, this is a brilliant level of passion. The passion of writing truly sparkles.
Enough!
