A very wise professor of English Literature and Grammar at West Texas State University once told me how "reading is an opportunity to have a conversation with the author that transcends space and time." She always referred to authors as a friend. "I want you to have a conversation with my friend, Willa Cather," she might say. From her I learned my love of literature. She taught me even more, however, she taught me how to write. Though I was struggling to find my voice at the time, I can still remember the far away look that she would get in her eyes as she read something I had written and then said, "Ooooohhhh, that's gooooood!" Ms. Collins, Thank you.
Now that I've found my voice, I just need to draw your attention. So, please, sit down with me and let's have a conversation. I've got some Colombian coffee on and my imagination is always wandering.
I am a novelist and English teacher originally from Powderhorn, Colorado, now living in San Antonio de Prado (Medellin), Colombia. My works include: The Wolf of the Highlands published by Senserial Publishing, Zipaquirá and Rionegro published by Bella Colombiana Publishing. Chorros Blancos is following along behind very soon.
