Have you ever thought about the impact you have on other people and the world around you? Do you ever wonder what legacy you will leave behind and why revealing one's self is so important in finding that legacy?
Carew Papritz, also known as "The Cowboy Philosopher," addresses these questions and more in the five-time national award-winning book The Legacy Letters. The only book in publishing history to win awards in both fiction and nonfiction categories, The Legacy Letters reveals to us the rediscovered private letters from a dying father to his children-and his wife.
In a recent interview with Bill Kenower of Author Magazine, Papritz exposes the "naked" truth about life and legacy. Offering advice to writers, Papritz explains, "Writing has taught me how to be naked. In a book like this, you open your heart and soul...and then you give it to people who then say 'I can see into you.' That's powerful. The nakedness is a craft. I have to show myself honestly. I have to be forceful, careful, smart and ultimately genuine with my words."
As seen by his writings and songs in The Legacy Letters, Papritz is fascinated with the human condition and chronicles it by immersing himself in all its endless variations.
