The evolution of this story has been amazing and inspiring to read. I love how quickly I am transported to the lake on that fateful day and how deep my concern for Lor is from the start. Young adult readers will be captivated. Well done!
You’ve been my constant reader from the start. Thanks so much.
this is a terrific piece — skillful language — unique theme — beautiful and powerful imagery — haunting energy — tapping into the great mystery of the deep inner and outer oceanic experience — kudos and love madhi
This is great! I love the way you describe the cold. That’s exactly how cold Midwest wind feels when it gnaws on my Floridian bones. So real I made a mental note to find my silk long underwear and legwarmers ASAP. I can’t wait to read the rest. Can I buy a signed copy?
Thank you, Sarah! Should this baby ever leave the house, of course, you would have a signed copy. How ARE those bones of yours?
Great stuff, Dot. Very compelling!
Thanks, Matt!
Very good stuff here, I can’t wait to purchase when it’s published! Did you realize that you are opening the door to an ENTIRELY NEW genre?!? It takes a lot of grit to do that, and as a very avid reader I’m ready for it!
Thank you!
I’m so looking forward to reading the whole book.
2013!

Sissy made that one day. She was at the library and she made a xerox of her face…and I thought, that’s it!
I knew that was Sissy!
