MATURE AUTHORS

Dear Readers,

I had to research some of these authors. Did you know Anna Sewall wrote BLACK BEAUTY at 57? Karen Blixen, at 52, wrote OUT OF AFRICA. And, of course, we are familiar with Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE series, in her 60's. That was one of my favorite television series.

So, what does this information tell us? It tells me that our dreams of becoming authors is reachable. We have to be persistent. All of us have great ideas. They just take time to develop.

God bless. Keep reading picture books to your children. Let them see you read.When they're old enough, bring them to the library and let them select the books they want to read.

Sincerely,
RAVENOUS READER (a. k. a. Frankie)
