May 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Phyllis Campbell has released her first mystery, Who Will Hear Them Cry,and her first book to appear as an eBook, making it available to a wider range of readers. Devices such as the Apple family, Sony, Kindle and many others including formats such as RTF and TXT easily read by computers, make it possible for the reader to control such things as size of text, and work with screen-readers for the blind.

"I have been a mystery fan since I followed Nancy Drew as she unraveled all those secrets," says Phyllis Campbell, author of WHO WILL HEAR THEM CRY. Often when I read a book I would wonder how I, a blind person, would go about solving the mystery. So after writing two successful books, and numerous short pieces, I decided to find out. WHO WILL HEAR THEM CRY IS THE RESULT."

Campbell was educated at the School For The Blind in Staunton, VA and at Lynchburg College, Lynchburg, VA. She has worked as counselor, teacher, and youth transition coordinator. She currently teaches piano and computer skills, and serves as organist at Faith Lutheran Church in historic downtown Staunton. She lives in Staunton with her husband, Clarence, called Chuck by his friends. She is the recipient of numerous literary and community awards.
