Sinopsis

Mary Jane Holmes (April 5, 1825 – October 6, 1907)[1] was an American author who published 39 novels, as well as short stories. Her first novel sold 250,000 copies; and she had total sales of 2 million books in her lifetime, second only to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Portraying domestic life in small-town and rural settings, she examined gender relationships, as well as those of class and race. She also dealt with slavery and the American Civil War with a strong sense of moral justice. Since the late 20th century, she has received fresh recognition and reappraisal, although her popular work was excluded from most 19th-century literary histories.

    I’m in Hell, but some witch I know calls it Arizona. 
    At least Tucson’s an excellent place to hide from the hefty bounty on my head, now that the entire supernatural Community knows I’m the last phoenix. Catching me comes with a set-for-life kind of price tag. 
    I don’t blame the bounty hunters; business is business after all. But I’m beyond pissed at the maniacal mage who outed me and caused this whole mess. 
    Trouble seems to find me wherever I go, though. Only a month into my desert exile, a grim reaper shows up and dies on my doorstep. The necromancers are trying something new, and if they get their hands on me and my resurrection ability, both the human and the fae world will be facing a mad man’s terrifying reign. 
    Oh, and did I mention I’m being stalked?

    Sometimes, the softest hearts make the loudest music. 
    When Mae Sinclair steps away from the pressure of life as a professional violinist, she doesn’t expect a tiny rural town to be her sanctuary—or for a quiet school janitor to be the only one who truly hears her. 
    Logan Barrett keeps to himself, content to sweep floors and fix broken windows at the local elementary school, far from the noise of his past. But when Mae arrives to teach music and breathe life into a fading arts program, his world—quiet and orderly—begins to change. 
    As forgotten instruments are tuned and children’s voices rise in song, Mae and Logan find themselves drawn together in the in-between spaces: early morning hallways, shared lunches, and hesitant smiles. But healing takes time, and trust doesn’t happen overnight. 
    Set against a backdrop of golden fields, small-town warmth, and the unspoken power of music, A Song for the Quiet Ones is a tender, slow burn romance about second chances, finding your voice, and falling in love at the gentle pace of grace. 
    For readers who crave heartwarming stories of emotional depth, small-town charm, and love that unfolds like a melody—soft, strong, and unforgettable.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. 
     
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
     
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
