5 Questions from The Porch Swing for Judy Wolfman

What have you written? My latest book is A Slave No More --  the true story of Henry "Box" Brown who escaped from slavery by having himself shipped from Virginia to Philadelphia in a box -- 3 ft. x 2.5 ft x 2 ft. -- under extreme discomfort!

What do you read? Right now I'm reading James Patterson's books - many of them!

Why do you write? I enjoy the opportunity to express my thoughts and information with others through my words!

Fun writing factoid (not technically a question, I know): The longer I write, the better I seem to become at the art --
and writing is an art! I also enjoy working with "new" writers -- critiquing their work. The best part is seeing them get published!

One more thing: Since I love to perform, I've formed a readers' theatre troupe (10 professional actors) through York Little Theatre and we entertain at a variety of venues in York County -- that's a lot of fun! We don't charge, but request a donation to YLT.

If you haven't already done so, stop by. Throughout the month, you'll find blurbs, cover photos and maybe even some more giveaways. Who knows? You might even find a new favorite author.

And, if you have a book you'd like to recommend, leave me a comment here, or there. Let's share our favorite reads in time for the holidays.
