Book Description

I Can Still Hear You is a powerful and deeply moving story which grapples with the universal pain of grief and the loss of a loved one. When Scarlett O’Connor loses her father at the age of 30, she’s forced to face the shambles that her life has become. With no money and no savings, the only thing that waits for her is a cryptic map and a mysterious letter. With nothing left to lose, she embarks on a trip to Maui for her father’s final adventure, to begin a treasure hunt which will force her to look deep inside herself and come to terms with
her pain and grief.

 

Accompanied by her less-than-supportive fiancé, a close childhood friend, and an enigmatic man who was her father’s old acquaintance, Scarlett must decode the mystery and find the hidden treasure. But she knows she must face her fears alone, and calling upon the spirit of her father for guidance, she struggles to reconcile her emotions and uncover the treasure before her time in Maui comes to an end.

 

Perfect for fans of contemporary and women’s fiction, I Can Still Hear You is a gripping tale which will resonate with anybody who has struggled with the death of someone close. This book is a testament to the fact that even though we may have lost them, our loved ones stay with us no matter what challenges we face.

Chapter 2

 

Just as I was remembering the way my father had let me sleep on this porch swing the night my mother died, something red swooped into the periphery of my vision. I turned and saw a tiny red bird, sitting on the railing, regarding me.

 

I hadn’t seen many of those birds around here. Or any, actually. Santa Monica was all about seagulls and the occasional pigeon or two. I tilted my head at it and said, “Can I help you?”

 

It hopped along the railing for a moment, then flew off as a shiny red SUV pulled up at the curb. I straightened up to see it over the railing. It didn’t look familiar, so I was just about to go back to peeling off the remnants of my horrible manicure when the driver’s-side door opened, and a tall man poked his head up and waved. It’d been a while, and though it’d filled out, I’d never forget that face.

Mark Graham.

Warmth and happiness flooded me. I half waved at him as he climbed the steps, then buried my peeling fingernails under my backside as he came close, because, well, I had known Mark as the goofy kid—a bit overweight, with acne and a bad haircut. Only much later in life had he started becoming handsome, so handsome that this new version of him always startled me a little. I had to work a bit to see that goofy kid I once knew.

 

When he stooped to give me a hug, he was so tall and big that his body engulfed mine. I pulled my hands out from under my thighs and hugged him back.

 

Interview with Author Nicole Black

What is something you’ve lied about?

• I try really hard not to lie. That being said, one time

Who is the last person you hugged?

• My daughter! She is also my favorite person on the planet.

What are you reading now?

• I am a big believer in Ho’oponopono and have read multiple books about it. Joe Vitale came out with a new book called At Zero that has captured my attention.

How do you come up with the titles to your books?

• I always start with a working title knowing that it will most likely change and evolve. When my story feels complete, I sit and meditate and allow the title to come to me. Once I have a few ideas in my head I ask for feedback from other writers.

Share your dream cast for your book.

• My dream cast for my book would be Margot Robbie as Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds as Mark. The actor I believe would make the best Anthony would be Robert De Nero and Dave would be Harrison Ford. Fun fact, I had dinner with Mr. De Nero when I was about three and have the picture in my living room. He came for dinner with my parents because he was most likely discussing a role with my Dad.
