Ask Andrew - Childhood Books
Dear Andrew
What was your favorite childhood book?
Dawn
Dear Dawn
That's a hard one. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time with my grandma and Aunt Kate. They lived together and I used to pick out a book and would ask them to read it to me. I remember Curious George and Clifford The Big Red Dog. I couldn't read yet myself, but I love story from a young age. They would decide it was time for a nap and would read me a story hoping I'd got to sleep. That didn't work because all I wanted was another story. In the end I wore them out.
I knew all the words to all my favorite books, so if they skipped something. "That's not how it goes," were the first things I said. They must have gotten so tired of reading those same stories to me, but I loved them. I know I got my love of reading from all the hours they spent with me. Both my grandma and my aunt passed away before I was twenty. But the legacy they left has stayed with me forever.
I read to my nieces. The older one is seventeen and a reader herself. The younger niece is six and she loves books and will be in first grade next year. What better legacy to give than the love of reading?
Ask Andrew will return next week and is your chance to ask questions of a gay romance author. The questions can be about the writing process in general, writing sex scenes, gay men, sex, characters in romance, characters having sex... okay you probably get the picture. I promise to answer your questions as frankly and with as much humor as I possibly can.
So if you have a question, please send it to andrewgreybooks@comcast.net. This is different from my usual email so your questions don't get lost. I will answer one question a week.
Please remember this is meant to be all in fun. (I was going to say good, clean fun, but who wants that.) So send me your questions and let's see what mischief we can get into.
