I’ve never been comfortable with self-promotion — despite the fact that social media sites have turned boasting into an art form. So, I’d like to point out that I’m not merely trying to persuade you to buy my book as a holiday gift this year. I’m also hoping you’ll buy dozens of other books — or that you’ll at least consider the gift of reading for the people on your list.
Books deliver information and entertainment. They introduce us to different worlds, expand our viewpoints, increase our understanding of others and ourselves, and even provide stress relief. Anyone who’s ever curled up with a riveting novel on a wintery afternoon knows that reading is the next best thing to a real vacation.
In the Detroit area, you’ll find copies of Writing Home at Yellow Door Art Market in Berkley and at Paper Trail Bookstore in downtown Royal Oak. To learn more about my book, click here. ~Cindy La Ferle
