Celebrating Authors’ Hard Work

This blog spot is usually reserved for instruction or encouragement, and it is today as well. We’re sharing some great Books & Such author news to help encourage you to keep pressing on. Some of these authors waited a long time for a moment like this, slogging through days/weeks/years when they wondered if they should give up the dream of writing stories. Others have known relatively quick recognition. In either case, hard work, intentionality, waiting, perseverance, and resilience were and are necessary tools of their craft, as they are yours.
