Yesterday I found out that an Australian newspaper wrote an article "Young Reader Inspired by Famous Namesake" about my Australian cousin Anna Egan (who I wrote about in this post) and me. Here's a little bit of the article:
Anna's mum, Yoshi Egan, of Cleveland, said they were so excited to discover a children's author in West Virginia had the same name that they immediately began searching for her books in Australia.
The book Golden Delicious by Anna Egan Smucker had to be especially ordered from the US and Yoshi said Anna saved for the book herself.
"We then encouraged her to write to the author," Yoshi said.
"My husband told her not to expect a reply but she did get a reply and it came with a book signed by the author."
