Hi John,
You asked what The Silence Ledger is about, so here you go!
ABOUT THE BOOK
When Sheriff Riley Thompson begins looking into a handful of forgotten records, he expects to uncover inconsistencies.
He doesn't expect to uncover a family.
As Riley and Raven Strickland begin rebuilding their lives together in Hill Country Ridge, a decades-old photograph and a missing story lead them into the town's shared history. What begins as a search for answers slowly becomes something much deeper, revealing how grief, silence, and good intentions can shape generations long after the people who lived them are gone.
Alongside Raven, Riley, Rowan, Nathan Keene, and the families whose lives have quietly intertwined for decades, long-buried truths begin to emerge from forgotten records, fading photographs, and memories that refused to disappear. With every discovery, the town is forced to confront not only what happened, but also what was lost when people stopped asking the right questions.
Rather than offering easy villains or simple answers, What Doesn't Fit Inside explores how ordinary people inherit both the wounds and the hopes of those who came before them. It's a story about family, memory, community, and the quiet courage it takes to carry difficult truths without allowing them to define the future.
Blending emotional suspense, small-town relationships, and a deeply human mystery, What Doesn't Fit Inside is a grounded psychological suspense novel about family, memory, inherited fear, buried truths, and the emotional cost of surviving systems built to classify people instead of protect them. At its heart, it's a story about the truths that endure—not because they were preserved in records, but because someone chose to remember them, carry them forward, and ensure they were never forgotten.
The book launches on July 8, and I'd love it if you'd check it out. It's the first book in a trilogy, and I'm really excited to finally share it with readers.
Also, when your podcast comes out, please send me the link. I'd love to listen to it!
Thank you, John.
Warmly,
Deborah Titus

Hi Deborah,
What Doesn't Fit Inside sounds thrilling, I'll keep an eye out for it.
And I'll send a link for Plainfield when it's released. Thanks.
All the best,
John

The Silence Ledger sounds intriguing. What's it about?
I will be launching an Apple Podcast of a spin-off of The Plain Field, simply titled Plainfield.
It should be released July/Aug 2026.
Hi John,
Thank you so much for your review. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my book and share your thoughts.
I really enjoyed reading your book and plan to work my way through all of your books. Right now, I'm writing a trilogy called **The Silence Ledger**, and I'd be honored if you'd keep an eye out for it when it's released.
Thanks again for your support, and I look forward to reading more of your work!
Best,
