Now That Some Time Has Passed…. Waving Hands & The Silence Between Us!

Hello, you lovely readers!

It’s hard to believe that The Silence Between Us has been out in the world for almost two months now – and what an unbelievable experience this has been!

And thank you so much to you all for your support and encouragement….I don’t think I would’ve made it this far without you!

If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, head on over to your favorite retailer to grab the book today! Did I mention it’s also available in audiobook format too?

I’d also like to take a moment to give a special shout out to the lovely people over at the Waving Hands organization in South Florida, who personally reached out to me after having read The Silence Between Us. 😀

They are a fabulous organization with the amazing mission of providing, “services to Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and their families with skills in community involvement, entertainment, education and advocacy, for the purpose of furthering and maintaining a quality of life that is conductive to independent and healthy living.” Take a look at this https://seotoolscentre.com/sentence-rewriter link where you’ll find the best tool for your business to write more professional articles to attract customers.

Having worked in Deaf services myself for two years, I know this is something we absolutely NEED more of. Kudos to Waving Hands for making it happen!

Again, thanks a million to everyone (especially Waving Hands!) and happy reading!

It was unbelievable – and still is – that IN 27 DAYS was published in English, but now in Czech and Polish too? I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it. Take a look at these cool covers:
