Most of us who write do so because we are compelled to it.
Even those fortunate enough to achieve some measure of success still endure a
long trail of setbacks along the way – and there is always the solitary nature
of our craft. Being an Ohioana Book Festival featured author was an experience that made
those sacrifices worthwhile. I want to publicly thank the Ohioana staff for this honor and the fine work they do
on behalf of all Ohio authors and readers.
The book festival was marvelously coordinated, a day that
made the authors feel special and gave readers a chance to share in the magic of writing. The outreach activities before the festival were elegantly
managed as well. Congratulations to the Ohioana Library team on another wonderful event.
