Feeling Blue at Christmastime

Show 548 - The Sunshine State Book Festival

The Ilene Silverman Show Shares Gainesville's Community of Writers

Ilene Silverman invited me to her show last week.  I will be on it talking about my Emotatude Series of books.  I am so grateful for the writers and editors who helped me get to this place.  Jenny helped me consider layout and design in new ways that made my art improve.  She also is an amazing editor.  Barbara has such a kind way of suggesting how to rework my words so they make more sense to the reader.  Jess has said encouraging words about my work and shared her fun quirky novels with me.  Through her and other authors in Gainesville I have had a chance to read novels people write and then find out how they created their work of art.  I feel so blessed by the community of authors in our town.  The experience of knowing these top notch people who have encouraged me to be a better writer, and shared their 

expertise has been life changing.  How can I ever thank them?  Perhaps by writing this and sharing it with you, you will in turn go to the virtual festival and see what I mean. You can go and see these intriguing people who are part of our writing community virtually.
