Sandra asked Leah Scheier:

Sorry for asking but one more question? So I saw that you wrote another book called Rules Of Rain about autism , have you thought about writing another book on any other books on other disorders like down-syndrome or PTSD? Sorry about my comment on our last discussion I was thinking about something else and put Leah instead of April😬!

Leah Scheier Hi Sandra, Sorry for the delay in answering; I forgot to check the "questions" area of GR.... I have written two more novels, but they are not about mental illness as YOUR VOICE IS ALL I HEAR was, or about neurodivergence, (RULES OF RAIN). I try to write novels about topics that I have experience with. I've worked with patients with mental illness as well as with young adults on the spectrum, but my experience of Down syndrome is limited to just a few patients. I also have very little experience with PTSD. I would definitely be interested in reading novels dealing with PTSD and I think representation of Down syndrome is very much lacking in literature--so I would love to see more of that as well. I just don't believe I am the best writer for the job in this case. Hope that answers your question!
