Writer Pam Mingle
I love books and reading, and have for as long as I can remember. Given the number of book clubs, reading groups, book-related web sites, author appearances, and so on, there’s no doubt that huge numbers of people share my feelings.
When I decided to write, it came out of a longing to create what I loved so much. In a recent issue of The Writer, Kevin Brockmeier said he writes “…out of gratitude to all the books I’ve loved and out of a desire to emulate them.” That statement really struck a chord with me. No fancy rhetoric showcasing his own talent or creativity, just a sense of gratitude for all the pleasure books and writers have afforded him over the years.
I hope you enjoy reading some of the excerpts from my writing. You’ll also find interesting facts I’ve discovered in researching my books, as well as book reviews for middle grade, young adult, and adult readers. Sometimes my posts are about whatever interests me at the moment–if it’s related to reading or writing.
