Authors, What Are You Offering Your Readers?

Authors often pour themselves into their writing, and once finished, they expect readers to flock to their published efforts--simply for the privilege of reading their work.

To an extent, I'm exaggerating to make a point. But just like in the business world, authors need to examine their books from a 'return on investment' perspective. In preparing their manuscripts, authors need to ask: what exactly is different or better about MY book that will enrich the reading experience for people who buy it?

That's why I believe 'Red Sky at Morning' will be a pleasant surprise among readers of any category. Novelists should offer something a little bit unexpected; a story that strays from formulaic models and embraces true creativity--something that can encourage the spirit by revealing virtue in the characters inhabiting the pages of their books.

I'll leave it at that. I'm hoping readers of 'Red Sky at Morning' will find a story that's different from others in the genre--something that will tell a story and be a blessing at the same time.
