Working on a long catch-up blog, but I wanted to share two exciting bits of news:
1.) THE SILENCE OF TREES was picked as the Audiobook of the year by Librarian Blogger Susie Sharp! (Read more on her blog)
2.) STICKS & BONES received our first review (5 out of 5 stars!) on Indie Comix by Robert McClelland:
This is definitely something to read and add to your collection if you enjoy a good story that involves the use of folk tales.
Read the rest of the review on Indie Comix.
Happy New Year!
Quick check in from La Crosse where I’m staying in a metal house and enjoying fabulous food, coffee, chocolate, and company!
The reading went really well. The People’s Food Co-op is a fantastic venue. I wish I could shrink it tardis-style and bring it home with me to Chicago (along with the fabulous people of La Crosse).
Some provocative questions that I had never been asked before, and I loved having Madeline with me to talk about the process of creating the cover. (Plus folks there were lucky to get her to sign their books as well!)
Shared dinner with Maura Henn (Tigerinvaseline) who put this all together and her partner Ethan (a phenomenal artist) at the “Metal House” where we’re staying (one of the Lustron Houses).
This morning began with coffee and breakfast at Hackberries and exploring the neighborhood, enjoying local coffee, crafts, and hospitality. Even the grey, rainy day could not dampen our spirits in such good company.
Now we’re listening to The Carolina Chocolate Drops and getting ready for tonight’s roller derby bout and other shenanigans.
Words and wheels weekend in Wisconsin continues…
Please take note that we’ve changed the location for the reading this Saturday, March 19th in La Crosse, WI:

I will read from my novel, The Silence of Trees. Cover artist Madeline C. Matz will also be on hand to sign and talk about the process of developing the cover. Q&A and signing to follow.
