Hello!
Many people ask authors why they love to write books. Here is a short note written by the author explaining some of her reasons for wanting to write books for you!
The first time I read a book, I had no idea that I was beginning a lifelong love of reading. I didn’t know all of the adventures and discoveries that were waiting for me in the pages of a good book. I did know when I began reading books on my own that I loved reading. I would open a book’s cover and dive into reading, using the deep ocean of my imagination. The author’s words would light up my way to adventures like a lighthouse safely guiding a boat around the seashore. As the author’s words told the story, I was able to explore worlds both real and imaginary.
Through good books, I would learn the meaning and the beauty of words. I would discover truths about God, people, friendship, life, and love. I made these discoveries with the same joy and wonder that a child might feel as they discover the treasure of beautiful, sparkling shells on the sandy seashore.
I have been writing stories for a long time. As I publish my stories, I hope that they will become like small boats that will sail out into the world. My goal is to write books that are positive, hopeful, inspiring, and fun with a Christian worldview. I hope that my books find their way to the deep ocean of your imagination. I want to bring the same sense of joy and wonder to you, that I experienced when I held one of my favorite books in my hands. The same joy that I still experience today, whenever I read a good book.
May God bless you with His love, peace, and joy,
Monica DiIorio
