I thought you might be interested in what I have been reading at night. Of course you may not care, but for those of you who are curious to what a Christian children's author might be reading, it may just suprise you.
I am addicted to reading, which is probably not suprising since I am an author, nevertheless, I must have my reading "fix" every night. I have found, especially after having three lovely, yet very boisterous daughters,the sound of TV at night does nothing to sooth my frazzled brain and to relax me to prepare me for the much needed slumber I will (hopefully) be preparing for. So as I prepare for bed, manuscript in hand, I have my current reading book and NKJ Bible at my bedside for relaxation and reward after a hard day's work. I often write my manuscript in a chair or in bed about 8:30 or 9:00 in the evening--then after writing for some time, it is really time to READ! YIPEE, my heart pounds in anticipation as I think of where I have "left" the hero or heroine character from the night before and let my mind be transported to a different world or past world that the author has written so well....sometimes I have to pause and think, even enwrapped in a well written story, the talent and effort of the author in coming up with such wonderfully creative ideas and writing every word that I so much enjoy.....ooh! I still have a lot to learn..
Well, as you may have guessed...I completed "Hinds Feet on High Places" and was in the mood for a good mystery...so...I am reading Agatha Christie (one of my favorite authors of all time) "The Mystery of the Blue Train".
