It's harder to recognize authors than other types of celebrities, and I worry that some day I'll run into a really cool writer and not realize who they are.Shannon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375300716238391523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-77608623247767367882012-02-14T07:22:49.958+08:002012-02-14T07:22:49.958+08:00I met Jennings Michael Birch, author of They Cage ...I met Jennings Michael Birch, author of They Cage the Animals at Night, quite by accident at a restaurant when I was in 9th grade.

I first heard about her book when it was assigned for a women's studies course I was going to take in university. I ended up dropping the class because I got into another course, so I didn't read the book until this year. I'm glad she had such encouraging things to say about your story!Shannon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375300716238391523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-83304619700378447462012-02-03T13:32:14.696+08:002012-02-03T13:32:14.696+08:00Wow, this is so fascinating!

I'll definitely check it out.<br /><br />Rachel DeWoskin has inspired me through her writing, especially her memoir, Foreign Babes in Beijing, and from when I met her in Chicago last year. When I told her about my experience, her first reaction was, "You should write a book!" That meant so much to me.Susan Blumberg-Kasonhttp://www.susanbkason.comnoreply@blogger.com
