Many, many years ago in the 1960's, my dad wrote and published a book on banking. Over the last few years, my niece has written a number of books for young adults and three years ago I wrote and published my book, "Driving on the Sunny Side With 10,000 Strangers."
This past week, we have a new author in the family. My oldest daughter, Jess, published her first book, "The Great Tree of Iris," which came out on Tuesday. It is a romantic fantasy that she has worked on for the past three years. She self-published the book through Amazon(paperback $26.99 and Kindle $6.99)
On Saturday, my wife and I attended her book launch in Flemington, New Jersey. Jess talked about why and how she wrote the book and answered questions from a group of forty friends and family for around ninety minutes. She is pictured below in front of a very colorful quilt she made.
This is the first fantasy book I've read and it is impressive. There are dozens of characters, a detailed plot full of twists and turns and the creation of a whole new world. I just received my copy and I'm 75% through it. It's a terrific book and my wife and I are very proud of what she's done.
So if you're looking for a fantasy, I highly recommend it!
