SHH! We Don't Talk About That!

 Shh! We Don't Talk About That!

by Audrey Austin (Author) Format: Paperback

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars (2)

Shh! We Don't Talk About that!

In this book I share, what some may call paranormal, events that have been my experience during the past many years of my life.

The Biblical quotation, "Do not cast pearls before swine", has contributed to my virtual silence surrounding these experiences. It is with great care and caution that I have shared confidentially with a very few chosen people.

But now that I have reached the bragging age, I believe it is time for me to broaden my boundaries, enlarge my group of interested listeners, and share more freely those things I have primarily kept close to my heart.

“Let he who has ears, listen”.

This publication is not for everyone.

It is for you if you are blessed to be aware of your awareness.

It is for you if you are on an adventure of spiritual growth.

It is for you if you desire to know your authentic self.

It is for you if you have more questions than answers.

A dear friend and mentor once said to me,

“Beware the one who says he knows”.

I do not claim to know. I simply share some personal happenings that may be of interest to you.

Perhaps you have had similar experiences.

I hope the words I share in this publication will be helpful. Perhaps you thought you were alone. If so, I want you to know that I see you. I hear you, kindred spirit.

  I was expecting a story about Moose in the north but found the book to be an interesting story about a tragedy happening to several families in the north. The books keeps your interest but I found the end to be a surprise. Well written book depicting things that could happen to anyone living in Northern Ontario

  Tragic and compelling

  Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2014

  Format: Kindle Edition

  Verified Purchase

  Austin has written a not so simple story, weaving the lives of multiple residents on Moose Road around one tragic accident that leaves no one on the road or in the nearby Northern Ontario Canada town untouched. The subplots tug at our desire to comfort some residents of this town with a hug and those same subplots yank at our exasperation switch yelling at us to slap sense into some of these same people. The main story cries for our attention and gets it.

  Austin is able to show us one tragedy from every point of view except the moose. The characters are so real that I wonder what Austin's neighbors thought about having their secret lives dragged into the public view.  To heck with the chores, I finished the book in one sitting.

Since childhood I've loved to write stories. I write for the joy of expression.

To date I have 28 paperback books published and numerous short stories which dare to stand alone; 78+ publications in total. My books are available in both Kindle and Paperback formats. Five of my books are also available as audiobooks on Amazon, Audibles, and ITunes.

I am an eclectic reader and writer. I'm not locked into a single genre.

I have written three books for children: The Last Drop; At The Edge of His World; and Beyond The Blue. All are available in Kindle format. The Last Drop & Beyond The Blue are now also available in paperback.

Several of my poems have been published by White Mountain Publications and The Ontario Poetry Society. My first book of poetry titled "Poetry from A to Z" is now available in both paperback and kindle editions.

POartRY and PROSE contains a merging of my passions which are writing and painting folk art.

I love to write creatively. I have celebrated my 19th writing anniversary. Whether you choose to read my poetry, my novels, novellas,short story anthologies, or a short story that dares to stand alone, it is my hope that you will enjoy the read.

And I haven't forgotten the children. I have written 3 story books; Beyond the Blue, a coming of age novella; The Last Drop for the very young about a rainy day; and the most recent Elephant and the Bumbly Bee, who share their travel adventures with the young reader.
