THE SOUND OF SILENCE

  • Friends to Lovers
  • Redemption
  • Kick Ass Heroine

HEAT LEVEL: Slow Burn 🔥🔥🔥

ADDITIONAL INFO

This dark romantic thriller was inspired by a piece I wrote for the Blunder Woman Productions project, Nevertheless We Persisted: Me Too, a 2019 Audie Award Finalist and Earphones Awards Winner. 


It's not for the feint-hearted. Please note the trigger warning.
