The March issue of The Horn Book Magazine includes an article titled "A Friendship of Words" by Susan Fletcher. Assistant editor, Claire Gross states "The article charts her friendship with Iranian translator Hossein "Elvand" Ebrahimi," whom she never met in person. In addition other writers weigh in on the subject of epistolary friendships."
Those writers include Cynthia Leitich Smith, Susan Cooper, Jane Yolen, Susan Patron and myself.
May each of you today find a letter waiting in your mailbox.
Reading this blog entry makes me think of the wonderful book "The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society" by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Written only in letters, I found it so very hard to put down!

Thank you, Carey. I appreciate you stopping by for the debut. I've heard a lot about that book lately. I'll need to check it out.
