Story Behind The Book
Whale Song is my "heart book". I am connected to it on so many levels, some deeply personal, some bittersweet. Some of this I explain in the front and back of the book.
It is not my life story, but rather Sarah's story...and I hope you enoy it.
*A portion of my royalties from every sale of my novel Whale Song go to 3 nonprofit organizations to help combat social issues, like poverty, homelessness and addictions.
