The Importance of Reading and Books

It should come as no surprise that as a writer, I believe in the importance of reading and of books. I was an avid reader as a kid and read everything and anything. History books. Science Fiction. Historical fiction. Non-Fiction. Romance, of course. I’d read and read and read, including the cereal box! LOL! We learn from books and for me, I’ve learned the importance of the past and what it teaches us for the future. It worries me that there are those intent on rewriting the past in order to control the present and the future. It’s why it’s so important to read, read.
