Penobscot reservation on Indian Island in 1853… “Madeline was born singing. She sang melodies like chants, like forecasts, like conversations with flowers and birds.” While her mother Hannah was comforted by Madeline’s sonorous melodies, her father, Jeremiah, a Calvinist preacher lived in fear of his daughter’s unique voice and spirit. As hard as he tried, he could not contain her. “In addition to being a captivating transgenerational saga, ‘Song of the Split Elm,’ also grapples with issues such as women’s rights, artistic freedom, and the reverent, symbiotic way that indigenous peoples relate to the earth, as opposed to the destructive, proprietary way of the dominant culture. The characters are fully alive on the page, their stories engaging and the writing at times intensely lyrical.” —Mikhail Horowitz, Performance poet, social commentator, author

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
