Book Cover, The Echo of Silence

"We are incredibly proud to unveil the cover for this powerful debut novel."

Wounded from a fractured upbringing and haunted by ghosts from combat, Jack Mercer is in search of peace, purpose … or something unnamed. His story begins in the humble dust and dirt of Wellington, Texas, and explodes to the shock and awe of battlefields across the world, but Jack’s real journey is finding himself amidst an ever-changing volley of life that whirls like poetry in perpetual motion. When Jack is finally forced to stop running, his weary soul turns to the aching work of stitching life’s pieces into a brave understanding of what holds meaning.

A raw exploration of survival, forgiveness, and the slow, imperfect process of healing, The Echo of Silence bears the gravitas of those who live with invisible wounds and the family and friends who live in the reverberations.

Brendan T. Kelly identifies as a creative soul, whether through storytelling or making art in all its lovely genres. Growing up, he split his time between Wellington, Texas, and Sacramento, California. He’ll tell you that he knew I-40 better than most truckers at a very young age. Brendan is a veteran, he served in the U.S. Army for 22 years, with duty stations around the world, including multiple deployments. His writings are cultivated stories drawn from his life experiences.

He writes with a desire to help others, to share his stories, and to help people recognize that they are not alone, can get through difficult times, and do not need to let challenges or the moment define them. Brendan shares his battles with PTSD and mental health in his writings, bringing readers along for the ride through both the good and bad times.

Brendan completed his MBA at Columbia Southern, is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Change Management Consultant and holds additional certifications.
