PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
"William is a Colombian-American writer who captivates readers with his ability to depict both the unique experiences and universal struggles of humanity. Hailing from Colombia's Coffee Axis, he was born in Armenia and spent his youth in Bogot�, where he studied Marketing and Advertising at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University. In the 1980s, he immigrated to the United States, where he naturalized as a U.S. citizen and held prominent roles as a creative and image leader for projects with major corporations.After a successful career in the marketing world, William decided to fully dedicate himself to his true passion: literature. He began writing at the turn of the century, but it was in 2018 when he made the decision to make writing his primary occupation. He currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida, where he finds inspiration for his works. William's writing style is distinguished by its depth, humanity, and authenticity. Among his most notable works are 'The Beggars of Mercury's Light: We the Other People', 'The Galpon', 'Flowers for Mar�a Sucel', ' Ludovico', and 'We'll meet in Stockholm""."
"I am enamored of how the story is a love letter to literature (new and old) and readers, balanced by the necessary evil of capitalism, the egoism of academia, and the dwindling landscape of publishing opportunities. I think you bring a new life to the paradox of living as an artist and making a living as an artist. As a mother and professor of young adults, I also think that you treat the popular and contemporary romance and YA genres with respect, deserved or not. In addition, your character development (as always) is so gentle, empathetic, and interesting. Recently, I've been studying Marc Chagall and the influence of shtetl structure and Yiddish culture in his work. The musical ""Fiddler on the Roof"" was staged to create the image of concentric circles (inspired by some of Chagall's paintings) that represented the shtetl community, its residents, and their stories. Your novel reminds me of this beauty and imagery: the story of six writers as a collective group, their individual stories, their connective stories, and the stories they create are all ripples in a lovely pond. My poetic writing is no match for yours, but I hope you get a sense of what I mean. Yours truly, Carrie Hollister"
