Just in case you have not noticed, I love the Mid-Atlantic
region. I’d love for everyone to experience a part of this area, whichever part
they would enjoy most. Whether that enjoyment would come from the beach or the
mountains, quiet countryside or bustling city, hot summer nights or cold snowy
days... I wish everyone could have a personal experience here.
I realize that traveling and vacations are sometimes
difficult. Luxuries like travel are
becoming increasingly difficult as the economy has taken such a toll on so many
people.
When I can’t travel, and I usually can’t beyond this region,
I turn to books. I can read about
faraway lands and adventures that I may never take. I already feel as though
I’ve done a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail, even though I have only done a
short walk on a couple of different portions of the trail in this immediate
area. That is the magic of books.
I’d like for you to know about my three favorite Mid-Atlantic authors.
Suzanne McMinn writes about her life in rural West Virginia.
Tawni O’Dell tells us stories about coal mining areas, and
the people who live there, in Pennsylvania.
Nora Roberts tells too many stories to list, but I want to
point out that she tells us stories that take place in BoonsBoro, Maryland and
on the Chesapeake Bay.
I hope you check out these authors and their stories. And if you are interested, I’ve given you a
place to help review these books and to browse more of their writing.
Until you can come to the Mid-Atlantic in person, pick up a
book and travel here through the magic of words. Enjoy your adventure!
