An enchanting read

This is a beautifully written collection of essays and poems by the enchanting Alethea Kontis, who I had the pleasure of meeting at Context 21 in Columbus, OH. I bought a copy of her children's book, AlphaOops, and asked her to sign it for my daughters. She's wonderful. I enjoyed this collection of essays because I simultaneously was enthralled by how enchanting her life seems to be and amazed out how alike we seem to think. Hopefully, I'll get chance to meet her again, so that I asked her to sign my book and so that I can tell her what a role model she is for us girls who want to break into the writing business. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what it's like to be a writer, a woman, and experience the wonder that is a convention.
