Most works with a deaf lead now published are biographical. I know a few other deaf writers and am hoping some are working with deaf protagonists in fiction.
I'm glad to hear that. I wish you luck with the publishers; I'll be one of the first to attend your book signing!

Yes, I agree about the biographical genre. I have several biographical volumes. While they are very interesting reads all, I sometimes simply want to be entertained with my reading.
