Free Jeremy Stone by Lesley Choyce Page A

“escape” into fiction. I immerse myself in it (like the ocean) when I sit down to write, and grieve when a novel is over, leaving me ever anxious to tell the next story and write the next book. Like everyone else, my lifetime is relatively short. I want to live as many lives as I possibly can in this brief tenure here on the planet.
    Thank you, Lesley, for the insights you’ve provided here.
