Inspiration finds voice in Docklands
Docklands’ writer Julie Postance has only 119 books to write to fulfil her ambition of authoring 120 books.
Technically, she now has five under her belt, but only the latest, Breaking the Sound Barriers, bears her name.
Julie explained that she had previously ghost-written a health and fitness book for a celebrity personal trainer, a book on cosmology, one on dating and another on baby sign language.
The sign language book gave her a head start for her latest project, which was published by Deaf Children Australia in May.
Julie works for Deaf Children Australia raising awareness of issues facing deaf children and their families.
Soon after joining the organisation four years ago she started searching for material which could allay the fears of families shocked to find that their child
was deaf.
“No matter how hard I looked, there was nothing suitable for these families,” Julie said.
That’s when she decided to write Breaking the Sound Barriers – 9 Deaf Success Stories.
Julie spent 18 months on the project interviewing inspirational families and deaf adults from all around Australia and writing their stories.
During this period, her working day would extend from 9am until 10pm.
The positive feedback she received has confirmed her preferred writing genre – inspirational stories about inspirational people.
Inspired herself by US author of 120 books, Dan Poyntner, and best selling inspirational author Mark Victor Hansen, it won’t be long before the words start flowing again.
