  <about><![CDATA[I'm a mom. I have a dog named Wyatt. I started writing way back in high school, but it took me a lifetime to write what you'll read about next: In a Goodreads poll, &lt;b&gt;82% of early readers voted [book: Secret Speakers and the Search for Selador's Gate] equal to or better than &lt;i&gt;Twilight&lt;/i&gt; in terms of likeability. 68% voted it equal to or better than &lt;i&gt;Harry Potter&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I was surprised, because it doesn't have the same dark quality those books have. &lt;i&gt;Secret Speakers&lt;/i&gt; is a story of the ultimate sacrifice, unconditional love, and the sublime transformation of a soul in a dark, dark world.  Thanks to all my heroic readers who voted during the Read &amp; Rate It event. And thanks to all 700 who originally signed up. Oh, and it's available April 2010 from bookstores, and of course on Amazon. Wink, wink.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Victor Hugo, George MacDonald, C.S.
