Dear Patron (fellow book-lover),
You have bought one (or more) of my book(s) for yourself or for a loved one who has a passion for reading. I humbly thank you. This is only my second year attending events, and each time I set up, my heart pounds in my rib-cage because I'm nervous of what to expect. However, by the end of the day, I pack up my things with a smile on my face. Not because of the sales. It's because of my interactions with my customers (or those kind enough to chat for a minute!) I still remember my first real customer, a twelve year old girl named Ruth. She hung by my booth discussing her love for books. Ruth also asked about each of my works with genuine interest in her eyes. In fact, most people who stop by my books are also aspiring writers at various levels. While I'm not a NY Time Best Seller (yet!), I felt capable of spreading inspiration that they shouldn't give up on their dreams. My debut novel, The Aeonians, is a young adult fantasy that was first written in my notebook in the SEVENTH GRADE. I was told multiple times throughout the years to throw my dreams in the trash. However, in 2017, I dusted that notebook off and promised myself that I would achieve my dream. And I did. Like Princess Isabel, the main character in The Aeonians, I started with little to no confidence. Life change after life change, I struggled with my sense of self... there have been tears. Many tears. I suffered loss of close family...had my heart broken... and then some. Throughout my struggles, I was able to keep that little, hidden flame alive. I worked hard. I found a superb group of writers to support me. Now, my dream is a reality- or shall I say, the beginning of a fantasy! I really hope you enjoy my work- please reach out to me with any thoughts, feedback, or if you have questions: [email protected]. Sincerely, J.E.
