When I entered the world of writing 13 magical years ago, I figured writers were fairly creative folks - I mean, they sort of have to be, right? What I didn't realize was how generous, thoughtful and supportive they are. I am grateful for the encouragement and camaraderie of many fellow writers, both in person and on line. One of these special people is author and illustrator, Jennifer L. Hotes. I feel fortunate to have met her through our shared publisher, Booktrope.
Jennifer is
currently running a blog series spotlighting the work of fellow authors. She's
encouraging her readers to take advantage of the fall weather to read more now that
the busy months of summer are coming to an end. In her own words, posted September
4th:
As the leaves outside tinge with reds and yellows,
life slows down a tad and I find time again to read. In that spirit, I
hope the books and authors I share with you this month will coax you to do the
same.
Yesterday
Jennifer graciously shared these words about my own work:
On a personal note, if I had one literary wish
to grant, it would be to see New York Times Book
Review pay attention to Williams' work. She handles complicated, tumultuous
and diverse subject matters with literary grace and expertise. She deserves
national attention.
I am touched.
Thank you, Jennifer!
