Because you support me and I want you to read them. Plus this guy has a nice butt. I like the woman’s face and eyes and the background is fantastic - Dune-ish, you might say.
Look, reading is important. My father has always said that the most important thing you can do for your kids is read to them. He’s never played games with us, games make him nervous, but he read to us. By the age of eighteen months, I could read on my own and thus began a literary life. In other words, aside from sports, painting and horses, I walked around with my nose buried in a book.
He gave me a great gift, one I passed on to my children. I enjoy nothing more than passing the gift of reading on to you.
Reading takes you places you can’t otherwise go. I learned when I was a kid that there are two kinds of infinity/eternity - external and internal - and the two are separated by a fragile piece of bone, but otherwise, they’re the same. I can go anywhere in my mind, and I can get there instantaneously. But that’s an illusion, you say? Seriously? I’m not entirely certain of that. An interior life can be very real - it’s a simple matter of knowing the difference between the two.
Anyway, tomorrow I’ll announce the winner of my contest. I do have a few extra paperback copies of books available and I’d be happy to send a book your way. You just have to let me know which book you want, give me your email address and I’ll contact you. Um…I have The Cougar Book too - my short story You Might Just Get It is great. No print copies of the Daughters of Persephone series though…dang!

Your father definitely gave you a great gift, as did my mother. I love to read and be taken away to destinations far, far away.
I completely agree with your father. I try so hard to keep the love of reading alive in my house. I was successful until my eldest reached middle school and he was forced to read a million words. Not just any million words, but a million boring words.
It took the fun out of it for him. I hope to revive it when my YA book comes out. I won’t let him read it until it’s released. 
Yes, Amber, what a good way to put it - destinations far away! Lovely!
Ciara - one of my daughters went through that in high school, wouldn’t pick up a book to save her life! She did get back to reading though, don’t worry.
Wonderful post! I love your comment about the two kinds of infinity and eternity…
You’re amazing!
XXOO Kat
PS I love this cover too. Except for the nudity, which in entirely new millennium, it has a great retro Sci-fi vibe about it.
Yeah, Kat, that’s why I made the cover big. I think it’s retro too, with nudity!
Reading is an amazing thing one can do and the more books the better…
Yep, what everyone said. Give me a good book over a tv show or movie any day. Reading is my favorite past time, I was probably one of the few kids who begged for a set of Encyclopedia just so I could read through the alphabet. Great post Julia.
I love this post

Savannah, Delilah and Jennifer - I love reading. Yes, he gave me a great gift. Now if he could only play card without breaking into a cold sweat!
Yeah, nice buns!
I do love this cover! And the characters the cover represents. Great book!
Lovely tush!
Thanks, Charlie. I very much like the female model. Couldn’t get her for the second cover, I guess.
Yup, Nina, lovely tush!
