Basix by Staub Enameled Cast Iron Cookware

Twenty-one years ago this November, when I wrote my first novel, I had only the most vague ideas as to how writers actually got published. I didn't actually realize that people wrote books until I met my first author, but even then, she was an adult a lot older than me (I was about 12 at the time.) To me, writers were mystical creatures like unicorns or Mark Twain, who was dead, but a larger-than-life figure nonetheless.
