Blaktie is about diversity.  Writers from various backgrounds toss unique offerings into the mix.  It’s kind of like a country picnic with neighbors bringing  family dishes long revered and loved  by the folks in the hollow.  As you peruse the various author pages, take the time to select a book to settle down with for a spell.  Whether it’s a Teatime book that sets a romantic mood with your favorite tea or a Sugar Roads novel about faraway worlds or local politics or a religious work like Parakeets in the Choir–well, whatever it is, just savor the moment and get to know an author.  Then you can join us for a local writers’ gathering and meet your favorite dreamer.  Many of us live nearby.  But even if it’s a writer living on a distant shore, social media will take you there in a flash.

Good luck in your exploration of this site and don’t forget to drop us all a line.  We would be excited to know your thoughts.
