I’m really enjoying my deaf character and I’m terrified of not getting him right. I want him to be real and normal and regular and authentic. I want hearing people to read him and not even really notice that he’s different. I want them to get a glimpse of the deaf world and say “cool, he’s just a regular, normal, everyday guy who can’t hear.” Except for the fact that he prefers men to women and can shapeshift.

Nadja, if you like, I would be more than happy to review it and give you feedback on how well the deaf character is presented? I'm a writer myself, and currently working on my first (vampire) novel. Of course, that's completely up to you.
I can't wait for the book to come out!
