I like mail. They say you can learn a lot about an author by their books. If nothing else, mine reveal a fondness for the post office. For example, one of the main characters in my Threshold Series (published as Christa Kinde) is a mailman, and the three Byways brothers are sons of Liberty’s postmaster.

I enjoy dropping little notes in the mail. Postcards from far-off places warm my heart. My stamp collection is a cheery jumble, two decades in the making. And I can’t seem to stop buying more stationary, envelopes, and stamps. At least once a week, I meander over to check my authorial post office box.
