SILENT RAGE

About the Book

It was a loud, chaotic send-off. As Mac and Marisa climbed into their deck-out car, the crowd bid them good-bye as the newlywed couple pulled off and left the reception hall en route to their honeymoon.

As they drove down the road, Marisa pondered the last several years of her life: having joined Move 'N' Groove with Darnell after they were fresh out of broadcasting school, being promoted to manage a dance team, and then her unfortunate accident and roller coaster life adjustment. The more she thought about it, the more she felt her life had a mysteriously divine purpose and a little more meaning.

Now that Move 'N' Groove and Signs of X-pression were merged into one entertainment agency and she was professionally and personally committed to the love of her life, Marisa knew for sure that everything would be all right this time.

Snuggling up to her new husband, Marisa let out a contented sigh and drifted off to sleep, lulled by sound of the beer cans clanking, rattling from the rear of the car as they continued driving late into the night.

About the Author

I qualify to write this book, Silent Rage because I completed a freelance writing home study program, and I have the credential of one other published book, Deep Cover under my belt. This particular story represents the kind of scenario, music, and lifestyle I like, not to mention some empathy towards those who are unable to hear or speak.

I actually got the idea for this story from the news that a rapper was also in a near-fatal auto accident that injured him so badly he can?t speak. Only difference is that D.O.C. (the rapper) is just left with a permanently hoarse voice. My character, Marisa Stetson can?t speak AT ALL, and she ended up having to learn sign language.

I?ve lived in an apartment complex, Edsall Station, for almost 17 years. I have a son, Adam Randolph Branham, who?s now 13 years old. Unfortunately, the boy?s not with me, so I?ve basically been living alone. My life?s been one sad struggle after another but I?m a strong woman, so I?ve been surviving. It wasn?t that long ago that I decided what I really want in life. Now, I?m trying to get a publishing career off the ground.

I worked for the federal government (National Technical Information Service) for 22 years, and I still work there to this day. The job can get SO BORING, but it IS my bread and butter, so I deal.

As long as I can seek Jehovah God?s help and get more books published, live online, and in the bookstores, it?s all good.
