Lance Baker is a father who lives in Michigan, where the seasons are rich and the winters long enough to teach a person the value of good light and warmth. A relentless explorer of hobbies, he is most at home when he is slightly out of his depth and learning something new. Sound, Silence, and the In-Between is his debut novel, a deeply autobiographical story born from the same quiet, persistent longing that sent its protagonist into the woods. He believes the next best thing for any of us is be found in the places where our curiosity pulls the hardest.
