Read an Excerpt

For a while, silence filled the dark room, but I could feel that Harley was still very much awake.

“You can walk,” I finally said.

“Right. I noticed that.”

“I’m kind of jealous about it.”

“I know,” Harley said, “but I try to ignore that in you.”

The silence came again, but undercutting that silence was a soft sound of pain.

“Are you crying, Libby?”

“Yes. Don’t rag on me.”

“Have I ever ragged on you?”

“Only all the time, Harley C.” I felt Harley’s arm around my shoulder.

“That’s because I love you, you jerk.

About the Author:

I’m someone in love with the English language...well, any language for that matter. How did we decided to use words, intonation, structures to communicate? Does our language come from our culture or does our culture come from our language? I love to drive people nuts with questions like this.

I have a background in Linguistics and Inter-Cultural Communication, but these days my greatest passion is writing for young readers. My young adult novels are Sliding on the Edge, The Princess of Las Pulgas, Double Negative, Sudden Secrets, and now Shattered, A Story of Betrayal and Courage. Sometimes I write Middle Grade Fantasy and have four of those stories published.

When I’m not writing I’m hiking or traveling or practicing yoga or asking a lot questions about things I still don’t understand--like what is language anyway?
