Peter M. Quint is the author of two novels in the Resilient Silence Series. His books create an accessible pathway for people to examine the struggles, joys and triumphs experienced in the lives of Deaf people. These books also encourage introspection with exposure to characters who face life challenges as they demonstrate various levels of faith and anchors to something bigger than themselves. To guide readers into a more in-depth understanding of Deaf culture, Peter offers companion workbooks with each of his novels. A teacher of the Deaf and American Sign Language for over 30 years, Peter has infused his novels with characters who exhibit the traits and values experienced in this rich field of experience. He also is a leader in the Christian Deaf community as the founder of Deaf Heartlight, a Christ-based recovery program for Deaf people as well as a founding member of Deaf House Fellowship in the Pacific Northwest region of America. Peter actively supports Deaf artisans in his work by including illustrations created by a Deaf artist and is involved with the regional Deaf theater organization. Throughout his life, he has participated in Deaf sports, holding the American record for the Deaf in the track and field steeplechase event. He has been a high-level competitor in long distance running events, including a placing in the top 20 of the Bloomsday race in Spokane, Washington state, an event which is featured in his first novel. Peter currently resides in Aubrey, Texas with his wife Pratibha and their Deaf dog Asha.
