Storyteller's Journey

 Inspiration for My Journey

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to attend a book signing for YA author - Kimberly Derting. The Last Echo, the third installment of her Body Finder Series was featured; as well as The Pledge, the first book in her dystopian series.


Kimberly Derting
It was wonderful to meet Kimberly and ask her questions. What occurred to me was just how normal she comes across. She is married, has three children, and lives in Washington State. Those are all things that apply to me too. I realized one BIG difference between Ms. Derting and myself...
she has made her dream come true.

Listening to her share her approach to writing, and the amount of work she has put into her craft, was very insightful. When I purchased my copy of The Pledge she not only signed her name, but wrote: Be Heard. Thank you Kimberly Derting for a special evening of encouragement, humor, and inspiration!

Do you attend other authors' book signings?
Can you share any positive insights you have gleaned from your experience(s)?
