Once upon a time, a college student who was very tired of math and very tired of essays sat down to write on a bench outside of her math classroom. She had about forty minutes between that class and the start of her work shift, and decided that since it was not really enough time to make satisfactory progress on homework, she could be forgiven for indulging in a flight of fancy in the interim. So she sat down and began to write on her phone. The resulting story surprised her; it was quiet and bookish and earthy and damp, and most of all it was for no one's eyes but her own. But when she finished that first draft she realized that something very unexpected had happened: the story she'd written for comfort and for fun was one that she wanted to share. What Is and Could Be made its subsequent debut on Wattpad on September 15, 2019—and from there the rest is history. Today the story that no one else was meant to see is releasing worldwide in both print and eBook editions. I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for putting this story on my heart and seeing that it didn't stay there. I want to thank my family for being my first supporters and the last. And lastly, I want to thank everyone who's been a part of the process or supported my writing in any way—because just like Timothy, we all need community. Timothy Wright’s life revolves around stories. Ever since he had his accident, books have been his only window to the outside. The characters inside are family—he’s sailed the high seas in quest of a white whale, plunged through rabbit holes, and been scolded by the ghost of Christmas present. But when a cheerful Veridan maid comes into his family’s employment, he begins to remember that life could be more than what happens between the pages of his books. In fact, it may be that of all the adventures he’s called home, the most frightening, exhilarating, and rewarding one is yet to come. A couple of notes about the price: For some reason Amazon has decided to list the print price as $16.38 this morning (11/20/21) without my permission, but if you want to get it for $9.99 (the price I set) you can find that under the “buy new” link below the $16.38 price. Or you can purchase it from Barnes and Noble!
