What would life be without books, art, and music? I cannot imagine
Books allow us to travel around the world, across the universe, and into the imagination of others from the comfort of our homes or while lying on a sandy beach. Authors are the creators of worlds beyond what we can visualize without their guiding words. Some make us laugh. Some make us cry. Some inspire us, while others entertain us. But all of them take us to places we have never been.
Having always wanted to write something besides technical science papers, and as an avid reader, I set out to discover what makes authors tick, why they write, how they write, and yes, even where they write. The exploration has led me to make good friends along the way. Let me introduce you to some of them.

Authors spend months, sometimes years, creating a single book that brings pleasure to our lives. They write to inform, to provide an escape from the day-to-day, to entertain, and/or to widen our horizons. It’s easy to repay for all their efforts.
