Thank you

Here it is, Day Three of the Semifinals, and I am overwhelmed and touched by the level of support from across the country and around the world. Thank you for taking the time to read my excerpt, write a review, and pass on the information to your family and friends.

So much of this book is about community. How fitting and remarkable that you are driving much of this review process–a grassroots effort to spread the word about THE SILENCE OF TREES.

I will continue to post here and on my journal at www.thesilenceoftrees.com as the process continues, and I hope to someday be able to share the entire novel with you.
