Second birthday, really... but the paperback version of Two Roads is now available! If you haven't picked it up yet, it's already getting really great reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

At long last, Silence Out Loud is now available! I'm really proud of this one. I don't remember much of the sign language I self-taught while writing it, but I do remember how to fingerspell. I really loved Cheryl, and I hated that I wasn't able to use her as thoroughly as I wanted to in Squire's Isle. I kept slipping her into stories, but I wanted ( Read more... )
