I was inspired to write my first published novel by… I spent a lot of time in the public library when I was a kid, reading every book I could get my hands on. I still remember looking at the rows of shelves and feeling incredibly fortunate that I had access to all of these books for free. It became a dream of mine to “give back” by adding books to those shelves for future readers. …
