About the Author
Quentin L. B. Smith is a screen writer who was born in the small town of Tifton, GA. At a young age he and his family moved to Florida where he hails Orlando as his home. Quentin attended Evans and West Orange High School where he was widely known as an avid athlete with a true passion for the game of basketball. After receiving multiple scholarships, he went on to attend Manatee State College in Bradenton -Sarasota, FL and later transferred to Lander University in Greenwood, SC.
After a devastating interruption to his athletic pursuits, Quentin found himself dealing with a constant world of conflict and isolation. During this dark period in his life, Quentin discovered an ability to escape the frustrations of his current situation and to push hope by creatively crafting characters and storylines. This initially started as a means to self-medicate this difficult space by allowing him to dig into his inner happiness. Believing this to be a true gift from God, Quentin has written and developed over seven scripts as well as filmed a short dramedy entitled Squatters, which was honorably recognized by the IndieFest. Adaleana and the Mute is a product of that difficult era and though originally written as a script, was later developed into a book with the hopes to bring it to the big screen in the form of an animation.

About the Book
At the height of her teenage years, Princess Adaleana enters the days leading up to a grand customary celebration. All of the people of the northern and southern kingdoms are filled with excitement; everyone except for Adaleana. All the while, a mute young man refuses to live out life without making his own name for himself even if it means risking it all in the face of danger. Together, Adaleana and the Mute embark on a daring quest for freedom and acceptance.
In a timeless tale of duty, this Ethiopian princess dares to cross boundaries that will leave a lasting impact on her people, including the inhabitants of the forest that lies between the two kingdoms. These inhabitants are under the rule of a pseudo king, Lord of Us, who is relentless in being hailed as a great ruler. Choosing to bridge a gap that seems impossible, Adaleana finds herself thrown into a harsh reality and the decision to do what is right or to do what is normal.
With many of today’s teens struggling with fitting the norm, this adaptation takes us to a place where we come to realize that the best of relationships can be found in those outside our own similarities. This is a story of adversity and triumph, resilience, and self-discovery, as well as the courage it takes to be born different but not being discouraged from being the greatest version of oneself.
