Last November, I reviewed and challenged author Cecily
Anne Paterson to not only write a
third book in her series but to include
at least one other deaf character. Tonight, I’m a bit giddy because Ms. Paterson
and I have been discussing this and she’s ready for some input on her third novel! Read that as her Deaf Character Jazmine is ready to meet some other deaf characters!!! (Okay, my excessive use of exclamation points might be annoying but I'm super excited about this.)
If you haven’t read Invisible
or Invincible,
you’re going to want to do so quickly especially if you’re interested
in helping out with this project! Of course, reading her books isn’t required
but I certainly encourage it!
How many chances do you
have to help an author do research for an upcoming book and how many chances do
you get to have a say in the journey of a fictional character such as the Jazmine,
a teenage girl who is deaf and fluent in Auslan?!
Well, here’s your chance! Click on the picture below, or follow the link here to answer a brief survey. She's even offering to acknowledge your help in her forthcoming novel.

Please feel free to share this with anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing who might be interested in participating in this important research.
