Marcy Knowing you, Mitali, you enjoy bringing your knowledge to the audience. The audience connects with your passion and kindness. As a teacher, I enjoy the experience because a new perspective is given by the author herself/himself, (his/her own experiences...) An author visit is a win-win situation. The novel does come to life.
