This is a blog about books I’ve read and the amazing people who’ve I have the great honor to know (or at the very least, have met in person once or twice) who have written them. Sometimes I’ll include a bit of the back-story about how I got to know the author. Sometimes I won’t. (It’s my blog. I get to decide…) I have some friends who are publishing new books this year and this will be a fun way to help spread the word. I will start with an author/friend whose work changed my life in ways I am forever grateful. I will continue through books written by friends who write about the kind of work I have also done, and books by friends whose lives are so different from mine that I can only imagine their joys and challenges. And yet I can, merely because they wrote about them.
