Book Release for FLYING TO THE FIRE, Book #2 in Elyse Salpeter’s Deaf Thriller Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hi there,<\/p>\n

We seldom see Deaf Characters in mainstream literature and I’m aiming to change that. I have written a YA Deaf thriller series, called FLYING TO THE LIGHT and FLYING TO THE FIRE. Both books have been written up by Sharon Pajka, a professor at Gallaudet and have hit the top spots on many Goodreads Listopia lists for<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> books with deaf characters. (I want to thank you for writing up the first book for me back in early 2012)<\/p>\n

I have spoken at various deaf schools and was wondering if there was any interest for an author interview or write-up so we can showcase the novel to your readers again? I’ve found getting kids to read the most challenging things in the community and seeing someone that “looks like them” is a great way to reach them.<\/p>\n

The novels are about a young deaf boy who knows about the afterlife and now people are after him for the answer. In book #1 he is just six years old and now in Book #2 he is thirteen, which I think is great because he is the real driver of the story. The family, primarily uses sign language to communicate with him and they never consider his deafness a disability – it is simply a part of who he is.<\/p>\n

Would you be interested in promoting the novels to your readers? Here’s the Amazon link to both books.<\/p>\n

\"Flying<\/a>FLYING TO THE LIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n
