Books

When one writes a book, the publisher usually gives the author the opportunity to “dedicate” the book to someone of his or her choosing. But you’re always left wondering if you chose the right person and the right words.

Or, if you’re Tad Williams, whether or not the person will even notice.

For many, reading books is a popular pastime…whether on an actual page or on a portable screen. For some, the allure is in the story’s plot; for others, the action is the attraction. Still others are enthralled by the characters.

And thanks to one charity event, a few lucky readers got the chance to actually become the characters in their favorite authors’ books.
