See the photo on the upper left corner? That's the book I wrote and published.
You can order it thru Amazon.com or Half Price books or any other reputable book seller or store.
Basically, it's about a deaf child and a hearing family. Buy and read and drop me a line on what you think about it.
Book two will soon be available!

Pele's Revenge I
She felt the desecration. Part of her was being taken away. The anger flares in the darkness and a small spark ignites a flame of vengeance. The anger grows. Fissures appear.
Pressure builds and begins pushing upward. The pressure pushes harder, moving rock and earth from its path. Heat builds as well, adding to the pressure, ready to ignite. Stone and minerals melt in the heat; forming pockets of molten rock and glowing magma. All creep ever upward.
The ground begins to shift and move aside. Tremors cause cracks in the Earth's crust and steam begins to vent into the outer surfaces. Large clouds form over the openings, bringing with it the stench of sulphur and other gases. The air becomes heated and noxious.
A low, ominous rumble, a slight quiver in the Earth's surface sends people scrambling for safety.
Pele is awake and very angry..........

Pele's Revenge-Intro
Pele (Goddess of the Volcanoes)
When visiting the volcanoes, you must respect Pele, the goddess of the volcanoes. Her historical name, “Ka Wahine’ai hona,” means the woman who devours the land. Pele was both respected and feared. Hawaiian legends assert that Pele, who often appears as an old woman caused earthquakes by stomping her feet and eruptions by digging into the ground. While Kilauea Volcano was erupting in 1960, many say they saw an old lady with a dog walking on the eastern coast of the Big Island. She was said to have traveled door to door begging for food. Many people ignored her except the Kapoho lighthouse keeper. He invited her in and gave her food and the lighthouse was spared from the fiery lava. Everything else around was destroyed. Many still honor her to this day by providing her with offerings such as ohelo berries or gin just, to make sure she spares them from harm.
