I've not read many books during the past year. My silence on here cries evidence to that. There were so many contributing factors-- moving, having a baby, my husband changing jobs... But fear not, dear reader (or readers... you know, all 5 of you)! These tappity little fingers have not been idle. All of these changes have been good and life is good. I've just been going through a bit of a metamorphic stage. I think, maybe, finally, at last, I'm back to normal-- or at least, the new normal. I'm even reading again! So hopefully you will be seeing more reviews soon.
But the biggest news of all-- as far as writing is concerned-- is the publishing of a book which I co-authored with my best friend! This happened back in December, but I realized how negligent I was to not even whisper of it here on my sorrowfully neglected little corner of the internet.
To learn more about this long overdue "child" of ours, keep reading and feel free to click the link below! Writing this book was a fun and challenging journey, one which we hope will not end for quite some time as my co-author and I are in the finishing stages of the sequel and have many, many plans for what is to come after! We just need to balance the rest of life and find our swing again as writers-- which, I believe, we're beginning to do.
A Song Without Words
by Andrea M. Grafton and April Rose Wilson
Writing this book was a special experience, not just because I got to do so with my best friend, but because we had the unique joy of writing a character who is mute and relies mostly on sign language to communicate. We tried to remain mindful of that every step of the way while allowing for the dialogue to flow naturally. This, coupled with historical research, was a wonderful learning experience.
Our book is not currently available in digital form, but we do plan to make it so in the future.
I have so much more I could write about and do indeed plan to write about, but for now, I will leave you with this brief yet significant update.
Until then, farewell.
