Hi! My name is Libby and I'm profoundly deaf. I have two cochlear implants and have had them since I was two and six. I think this book may just be me explaining things about my deafness and deafness around the world and that we're not all the same! I hope I'm not going to get angry because I'm not a very angry person naturally, so...I don't know. This was just an idea I had so yeah!

Not The Last {Rough Draft}
~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**Complete
I Kept My Promise - #ModernLoveContest
While I filled out paperwork, I marked my pronouns as she/they for the first time. I went with queer as my sexual orientation since no one would believe an asexual would go to Planned Parenthood for emergency contraception. White/Caucasion, 27, 5ft 4, 145 Ibs You need to mark someone as an emergency contact, I heard the lady in the next booth over inform another girl. It doesn't have to be family, it can just be a friend. I had already given them my little sister's name. My mom wanted me off the pill immediately after I had tried it the year before. She was sure it would mess with my fertility. I miss my period, she told me. It revitalized me.H Sometimes I sleep for 13 hours at a time and I almost pass out from the pain. I still make it to work though if it's not the weekend. I don't understand why doctor's offices make you wait 40 minutes before your appointment even starts. At first I was okay with it because I needed to chug some water to pee in a cup. I managed to miss them calling my name the first time since I was too busy trying to muster up some piss in the bathroom. Me and some other queer kid got called up at the same time. I'm Hannah, I clarified for the two nurses.Complete

Let's Get It Right (You Saved Me Sequel)
I heard an extremely loud ringing in my ear. The more I tried to ignore it, the louder it became; and the louder it got, the closer it seemed. Soon enough, it felt as though it was right next to my ear, which caused me to jump out of my sleep. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a hospital bed with bruises on my body. "What the hell?" I thought to myself. "Why am I here? Where's Quan? Where are my kids? How did I get these bruises?" I felt lost and confused. What the fuck happened? This can't be happening to me.
