It’s hard to overstate the excitement of launching a book into the world. For me, it’s been seven years since I’ve done so, and a lot has changed in that time. But this novel, Listen to the Wind, has been close to my heart for fourteen years as I’ve written, rewritten, edited, and tweaked. Now at last it’s out there, and I sincerely hope people enjoy it and gain some insight and knowledge from it about an extraordinary period of history and place.
