HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

As we come to the end of another year, I want to express my sincere thanks to all the authors whom I interviewed in 2023. Their wisdom and experience light the way for the rest of us.

I also want to thank all the readers who visited the blog this year, and I’m especially grateful to those of you who have added your voices to the Craft of Writing posts. You honor us with your participation.

And I offer very special thanks to my friend and colleague Steve Hooley. Steve has made all the pens that we gave away this year, and the quality of his work never ceases to astound me.

Today is “Name Your Favorite Book(s) Day!”

Leave a comment below with the titles of the book or books you love, and your name will be entered into the drawing for a signed copy of Lacey’s Star and the special “Wilbur and Orville 1903 Mahogany” propeller pen that Steve made.

Everyone will be eligible to win, even if you won a pen before. (I’ll post the name of the winner by 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 19.)

Best wishes to you all for a joyous holiday season and a wonderful and productive 2024.

Now it’s over to you. Name your favorite book(s) and tell us why you love them.
