“Reading a book is great fun – writing one can be even more! Set aside some time every day to treat yourself to a bit of reading and writing and you’ll be amazed at where it takes you, what you learn, and how good it feels.”

“The act of reading a book can take us into a world full of adventures we might not otherwise experience.
Sometimes we discover a little spark of adventure within us that we didn’t know was there and visit places we would never choose to go. As a result, we begin to feel like we are part of the ride, and we are eager to see what’s next. Having immersed yourself in the story, your mind yearns for “one more chapter” to continue the experience of your thoughts and imagination traveling through the story as if you were actually there.
As a writer, you utilize your words to transport those who read them into a world of imagination, exploration, experiences and adventures that are remembered forever.
Never stop reading and I encourage you to keep writing.”
