Anna Quadrada Releases Debut Novel RIPPLES OF SILENCE

"Ripples of Silence" (published by Balboa Press), Anna Quadrada's debut novel, is a fast-paced psychological thriller that explores a thought provoking decision that shakes the world over: a prominent newscaster's choice to stay silent.

Every night, millions of people turn on their television to watch the news. However, the summary of the day is always a grim list of disasters that shape our inner understanding of the world. But, asks Quadrada, "what if, in the middle of this media-driven society, one of the most famous news presenters decides to stop talking? Would you understand his decision or would you be outraged by it? Would you want to know why he stopped talking or would you rather think he's crazy?"

"Ripples of Silence" takes the readers through a hypothetical scenario where the newscaster's friend struggles to understand this bold decision that ultimately questions society's most hidden assumptions and beliefs.
An excerpt from "Ripples of Silence":

"Once again when Leah woke up that morning, her husband's side of the bed was still untouched. Mark had spent several sleepless nights lately, nervously roaming up and down the sitting room, smoking cigarettes in the corner, and staring seriously out of the window for hours, lost in thought. Yet despite the long nights and the mysterious preoccupations, at eight o'clock he was always perfectly shaved, impeccably dressed in his suit, and ready to go out. However, that day something was different. It was already half past eight, and his suit was still hanging in the wardrobe, his shoes were scattered around the bedroom, and his mobile was switched off on the bedside table. Even Leah, who by now was already quite used to her husband's eccentricities, thought something out of the ordinary was going on. Worried, she quickly put on her dressing gown and rushed out of the room."
