The lost art of letter writing.
I recently won a contest in which the prize was a letter
from the author. I’ve been a fan of
Emily Kimelmans’ Sydney Rye series since its inception and am just now reading
Inviting Fire (Sydney Rye #6). If you
like action, adventure and mystery that comes at you from a very different
angle you need to give this series a try.
Back to the letter.
I can’t tell you the last time I got a personal letter via snail
mail. Email just doesn’t feel the
same. I am old enough to remember typewriters
of the sort that Ms. Kimelman used to write her missive. It took me back to the days when I would play
on my Grandmothers Royal . My Grandmother was an executive secretary when most
Grandmothers didn’t work. It amazed me how strong her fingers must have been to
type as fast as she did. I still
remember the letters she would write to me on her typewriter while I was away
at summer camp. When I opened the letter
today I had visions of letters by long ago authors at auction. Who knows… it’s a fun fantasy.
Inspired by the letter my husband dug out his dad’s old
typewriter. He remembers his Grandfather
typing up menu’s for the Royal Palm Restaurant.
Printing out copies just doesn’t have the same romance.
All in all this was a fantastic trip down memory lane and
I thank Ms. Kimelman for the ride and taking the time to write the letter.
