When we started this place, one of my rules was that we could not promote our own books here. Other than in the bio section.
Sure, when we have our chats or post articles here, we may mention what we’re working on, or some lesson from something we’ve written before. But, I’m proud to say that we have stuck to that promise.
I’m not going to promote one of my books here, but I am going to assert the privilege of being a site founder and talk about a book written by one of the other key people here.
Our friend and co-host, Audrey Driscoll, has published a new book that I found to be wonderful. Winter Journeys tells Ilona Miller’s story. The story travels along two tracks — one when Ilona is in college and becomes obsessed with Franz Schubert’s Winterreise, an obsession that leads to her unraveling. And the other track, twenty years later, when Ilona unravels again.
I can’t really say much more than that because detailed book reviews aren’t my thing. But here is Berthold Gambrel’s review of Winter Journeys.
All I know is that I thought this story was incredible. It is a quiet book, if you can call a story about a woman’s unraveling ‘quiet.’ But that’s what I thought as I read it. It’s just quiet and it is the type of book that makes the world of indie writers much more interesting than traditionally published books.
Winter Journeys is an example of why we write and why we read.

What a pleasant surprise it is to read your thoughts about Winter Journeys, Mark. Much appreciated, as is Berthold’s insightful review.
Of course you know I have to reblog this! 😀

I loved your story, Audrey, and want more people to read it. To see what indies are more than capable of.
