Twig Bookshop and 8th Street Market
Visiting with readers these days is a tricky thing, but I'm thankful that creative retailers are finding ways to maintain social distancing and germ warfare. The folks I met this weekend in San Antonio were lovely, kind, and definite book fans! I was stunned folks drove so far to find me and it gave me a shot of encouragement to keep on writing. Even from behind a mask, the human heart seeks out the community found from a love of books.
While in Comfort, Texas at the 8th Street Market, I talked with someone who asked my why I write stories set in that Hill Country town and I replied "because I want to write about a world I'd want to live in." Not sure what that says about me, but the friend groups in the Comfort stories are expanding and my mind drifts back there often, wondering what the characters are doing and how they'd react to circumstances. I think of the series of novels and novellas of "At Home in Comfort" and who doesn't long for a sweet home?
Hope you all stay safe and healthy this Thanksgiving week, and that you are surrounded by books that open new worlds to you.
