I just read Silence of the Trees, and wanted you to know that this is the best book I’ve read in a long time, and I’ll be Sharing it with everyone I can. I was so touched by Nadya and her story. Great work! Thank you.
Valya says:
Thank you, Liz!

Thank you Valya, for the lovely compliment and I’m so glad you enjoyed the interview. It was a total pleasure for me as well!
The interview itself is archived at the Nash Holos website on the Interviews page. I’ll be in touch with you shortly with a list of the winners.
Sorry for the delay in getting that to you. I’m reorganizing and updating in both cyberspace and the physical world, which is creating a bit of havoc for me. But things will get back to normal soon. 🙂
All the best, and thanks for writing that wonderful book!
