When you purchase a novel, you’re buying more than a story. You’re getting a writer’s sweat, tears, and time—all the hours of weaving and wondering, imagining and telling, the seemingly endless rewrites and edits, the frequent frustration in search of the perfect word, phrase, paragraph, or plot twist, the moments of reflection, the periods spent falling in love with characters, exploring their foibles and flairs, the angst over causing harm to those beloved imaginary friends that live and breathe in the writer’s mind. Neatly tucked between the covers of that book, you’ll find a writer’s dreams and love and truth and hopes on display for the world to see. Poured into each page are the priceless echoes of a soul and the unscripted longing of a heart. —Diana Henderson
