Alchemy of the Word
Description
A lifelong reader and a vocational writer invites you on an intimate tour of her home and its multifarious bookshelves, sharing the contents of her library and how all those volumes transmuted her own life from a childhood as a bookish caterpillar bookworm into the adult, full-fledged butterfly ofo a publshed writer in her own right.
A luminous guide through the written word, through personal essays, book reviews, anecdotes, and insights. this book is a recipe for a literary elixir consisting of equal parts inspiration, revelation, and transformation; anyone who has ever surreptitiously sidled up to a bookshelf on a first visit to a stranger's home, just to see if there were any familiar friends living there, will find a treasured companion in 'Alchemy of the Wrord".

Person
Alma Alexander's life so far has prepared her very well for her chosen career. She was born in a country which no longer exists on the maps, has lived and worked in seven countries on four continents (and in cyberspace!), has climbed mountains, dived in coral reefs, flown small planes, swum with dolphins, touched two-thousand-year-old tiles in a gate out of Babylon. She is a novelist, anthologist and short story writer who currently shares her life between the Pacific Northwest of the USA (where she lives with her husband and two cats) and the wonderful fantasy worlds of her own imagination. You can find out more about Alma on her website (www.AlmaAlexander.org), her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AuthorAlmaAlexander/), on Twitter (https://twitter.com/AlmaAlexander) or at her Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/AlmaAlexander)
