Author’s Note:
Although
Carried Away on Licorice Days was
published as a children’s book in 2008, its first fans were adults. My mother
sold copies of it to members of her bridge club. The remarks that came back
encouraged me to submit it for reviews and literary awards. Pretty soon it was
a success. Even children liked it!
Recently
I read an article describing how seniors enjoy reading juvenile novels because generally
the books have more wholesome plot lines and are easier to follow. Immediately
I thought of Carried Away on Licorice
Days. The only problem was that it was originally published as a small
book, with small print. As it turns out, that was easy to fix!
Whatever
your age, whether you read Carried Away
on Licorice Days as it was first published, or in large print, I hope
you thoroughly enjoy your reading experience.
