can no longer expect new work from them and sink into the worlds they create . They blended their perception of society ’ s issues with complex characters in the backdrop of stories so powerful that they resonate with me for weeks , months , and even years later .
When I read To Find You , it was like being visited by the prose of my dearly departed authors . The writing was familiar , yet uniquely her own . The subject matter of finding love from one lifetime to the next was created by a mind who could work through the most tragic of scenarios and still leave room for hope . That ’ s a skill set that is a lost art when the industry is churning out print after print of the same old themes .
Soon after that event in Atlanta , she acted on some of my advice and it led to one success after another — being written up in USA Today ’ s Happy Ever After column , landing on the national bestsellers list , and crossing over to a whole new fan base of readers who had not entertained the idea of reading any of her paranormal / science fiction work . Those same readers welcomed her new literary / historical fiction piece with open arms and she ’ s been climbing the charts ever since .
Over my years in the industry , I have met a number of authors . Some have become clients ; others have drifted off never to be heard from again . Readers have asked , “ I wonder whatever happened to …” When I read To Find You , it stirred me to the point that I had to read everything else she had available . I wasn ’ t disappointed in those either . Quite the contrary . Only a few authors have brought on that kind of brand loyalty . Thankfully , now there is another who inspires the kind of baited expectation that Octavia and L . A . once had where readers , even today , still mourn their leaving without passing the torch . Cerece Rennie Murpy is the latest great storyteller within our midst , and the fires of ones I hold dear burn brightly within her heart , mind and definitely in her pen .
