I was born with a craniofacial anomaly – cleft palate. It was a part of my life that I wanted to forget, until recently. I joined the Facebook group Our Cleft lip and Palate Support Group :*) where I learned that many children and their families were struggling with cleft palates and lips in a much deeper way than I ever struggled. I try to give the “hugs” emoji when people post their difficulties, but it feels inadequate. How could I lift children up who struggle with this? I’m an author so my go-to was to write a book about a character with a bilateral cleft. I didn’t want it to be preachy or focus only on the anomaly. I wanted the character to be heroic and solve a mystery. I wanted my readers to see and learn that even with their challenges they can accomplish important things. Rowley Peters and the Lumberjack Ghost features not only a ghost but mummy excavations, croaking frogs, and a creepy maggot. It’s also a little educational as it deals with the Copper Culture. Archeologists have discovered evidence there were people who mined the Midwest for copper thousands of years ago and that copper artifacts are still being found today. Be sure to join me on BookBub to see the latest sales and the books I’m reading.
