This is one of the most nerve-wracking moments of being an author. You put a book out into the world, and you wait for reviews to come back and communicate whether people are connecting with your work or not. But it’s also thrilling. This is why we write! We hope that a book will mean something to people.

If you’re a teacher, librarian, or reviewer, I invite you to request The Song of the Swan. I hope you love Olga and Pavel as much as I do.
