The Crystal Clipper
If you have "The Crystal Clipper" on your "want to read" list, please watch for the Kindle special beginning December 5 and running through Dec 11, when you can buy the book for only 99cents.
I do hope you will look at the reviews on both Goodreads and Amazon, and be inspired to take a magical journey with my deaf teen hero, David Nickerson. I have more adult readers than YA, I think, because there is something compelling about the family dynamics, the unconditional love, and the belief in something that transcends the here and now.
The book - and the entire Moon Singer trilogy - took me on my own personal journey, as I used my love of music and the belief in its power to enrich our lives as a vehicle to create this uplifting series.
And if you do read, please review and post it on GR as well as Amazon US and UK. Thank you!

Why Did I decide to make David's character deaf? I own a Singer crystal, shaped like a small sailboat, that inspired the Moon Singer trilogy’s first adventure, “The Crystal Clipper.” I found this unique crystal at a workshop (actually, it found me – which is what crystals are preordained to do). In pondering its energy, a story began to take shape. Young David Nickerson came by his own Singer because it was meant for him; he is the one true owner of the Singer which manifests into the Moon Singer ship and takes him on all of his adventures. David develops extraordinary powers in worlds he never knew existed, because of his deafness: this important aspect of his character allows me to demonstrate how David hears the inner cravings of his soul and finds his own strengths. Hearing people who meditate are always instructed to do so in a quiet, silent environment - "Be still, and know..." David learns how to use his natural silence, and so his "disability" becomes his greatest gift.
