I love to time travel. All it takes is a book and I'm there! 'Little Women' is one of my faves from childhood and the penultimate destination for those who want romance, intrigue, and drama . I've owned many versions of this classic story about four sisters, beginning with my first copy at age five. The March family held my attention from the start: I wanted to be as pretty as Amy, loved as much as Beth, and in charge like Meg. The sister that I identified with most, though, was Jo. I admired her spunk and the fact that she loved to read and write as much as I did (and still do). She seemed to be the perfect combination of old-fashioned values and independent thinking, and I have paid homage to Louisa May Alcott, Jo's creator, in my 'Jo Anderson' series.
Check out 'Little Women' soon, whether it's for the first time or the fiftieth: the story never grows old. And give my Jo a try as well. Her first adventure, which takes place in the beauty of the Colorado Rockies, was fun to write...and she was a kick to meet. 'Becklaw's Murder Mystery Tour' is available at Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon.
Whether you need a portal to the past or just crave a vicarious adventure, books are the best way to travel. See you out there- and keep reading!
