B Roman's newest book, "Whatever Became of Sin?" - a fast-paced suspenser with many twists and turns, is a departure from her YA trilogy ("The Secrets of the Moon Singer.") Since childhood, I've been torn between two worlds: writing and singing. It's difficult to serve "two masters," as they say, but I was compelled to do so. When I was not singing, I was writing; when I was not writing, I was singing. Now I do both. It is natural, therefore, that my trilogy of adventures for young readers, "The Secrets of the Moon Singer," has its roots in musical theories and metaphors, entwined with the magic and mystery of metaphysical concepts and matters of ethics, faith, compassion, love, and heroism. I hope my books inspire readers to know that, whatever their circumstances in life - just as my "hero" David Nickerson learns - their greatest challenges are opportunities for growth and strength, and that their "disability" can be their greatest gift.
