'Books Are Delightful Society'

“Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books, even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.” – William Ewart Gladstone

I just had to write to let you know what great reading I found that manuscript to be. This is not my family’s history, but I couldn’t stop reading. The exerpts from B. & Y. really added to the depth and character. The research you did on the names and other historical events was just awesome. WOW. I can’t wait to see the finished product. – J.Y., Ghostwriting Client

Shortly after reading a wonderful article Leslie Lang had written for Hana Hou! magazine on Akiko’s Buddhist Bed & Breakfast, I coincidentally met her at that very same B&B in Wailea. There, Leslie learned from the B&B’s proprietor about a solo trek I had made from Laupahoehoe Point to the summit of Mauna Kea. It must have made an impact, because she wrote an excellent account of it for the Hawaii Island Journal. Noted biologist, naturalist and writer, P. Quentin Tomich, wrote a follow-up story published in the Hamakua Times based largely on Leslie’s detailed account. I credit her vision and perception for creating such a compelling story after a brief, chance encounter with a total stranger. I now count myself as a fan of her original stories and biographical sketches. – Mark Glick, Administrator, Hawaii State Energy Office, Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism

I really have to hand it to you, Leslie. You are excellent at taking my words and rearranging them so that the meaning is as precise as possible from clause to clause. So often I had no idea there was a more specific or truthful way to arrange the sentence. Thank you so much! This is just what I needed. – Valerie Wicks, Author
