It's been awhile since I've had a chance to write. Unfortunately, my writing has taken a back seat to life and that makes me sad. Writing is such a part of me, I feel like I'm being stifled or choked if I don't have a chance to put words to paper. So... here I am.
I had an Author and Illustrators Night and although the evening was slow due to the horrific weather we were experiencing on the East End of Long Island, I had a wonderful evening. Both students and teachers (and amazingly enough, one of the teachers had a son at another school where I had done a school visit!) approached my table having already read my book The Island of Rouge, just to talk and express their enjoyment of it.
There is no greater feeling to hear such words of joy from your readers. Ultimately, my goal is wield words so powerfully they captivate the reader, marking their soul with excitement; positive or negative. The point is, to engage a child to read but most importantly is to have fun while doing it.
