Mary Vensel White

Mary Vensel White is the author of The Qualities of Wood, the first ebook published by HarperCollins Publishers digital imprint, Authonomy. Chosen for publication based on nominations from the writing community at Authonomy, and 2012 International Book Award-winner, Mary’s debut novel tells the story of a husband and wife who leave the city for a life in the Midwest countryside only to find themselves caught up in the mystery a local girl found dead in the woods behind their house. Haunting and beautifully written, author Genevieve Graham (Under the Same Sky) calls it, “[a] mesmerizing journey of one woman as she discovers the truths around and within her. It is a novel written with poetic grace and gentle hand, with a message as strong as wood.” The book has done so well in digital form that HarperCollins will be publishing the hardcopy in July, 2013.
