Authors and Readers

It was a pleasure to participate in the "Authors' Area" at the NJEA (New Jersey Education Association) Convention last week. Of course, authors want people to purchase and read their work, but I also get a charge out of discussing my writing and my writing process with readers. Before I know it, I get a rush when I speak of a character's thought process in response to a question from a reader. It's great when readers provide fresh ideas and viewpoints that are valuable to authors. The live author-reader relationship is a good thing!
