When the Spirit Speaks: A Journey Beyond the Silence

Have you ever felt like someone you love was trying to reach you… even after they’re gone?

Signs from the Spirit is my deeply personal exploration of grief, faith, and the powerful messages we sometimes miss in the noise of everyday life. As a Deaf Lumbee author, I wrote this book not just to share my story, but to honor the subtle signs that come when we finally slow down and listen with our heart.

This is not a book of superstition it’s a book of comfort, resilience, and the mysterious ways the spirit world gently taps on our shoulder.

✨ Filled with real moments.
🕊️ Inspired by dreams, birds, pennies, and whispers from beyond.
📚 Now available worldwide in paperback, hardcover, and ebook.

You can order signed copies at www.sondrasampsonbooks.net or find it at major retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.

Thank you to every reader who’s messaged me after finishing the final page. I see you. I hear you. And I believe just like you do that love never dies.

A Day of 150 Emails One Author’s Mission

Today, I did something big. I spent hours literally all day emailing nearly 150 bookstores, libraries, newspapers, and media outlets across the country. From North Carolina to California, New York to Florida, I introduced myself and shared two books that mean the world to me:

📖 Signs from the Spirit – a memoir inspired by real spiritual signs after loss.
📘 The Sign of Victoria – a psychological thriller set in a haunted mansion where only one student survives.

Why did I do this? Because I believe in stories. And I believe in my readers. I’m not a big publishing company or a celebrity with a team. I’m just one woman a Lumbee author, a Deaf storyteller, and a mother trying to get my work into the hands of those who need it.

This journey isn’t easy. But it’s real.

If you’re reading this and you’re a bookstore, a reviewer, or a supporter of indie authors, thank you. Your time, your reply even just your curiosity means everything.

Here’s to the next chapter,

My Second Book Is Here And It’s Real!

Hello everyone

I’m beyond excited to finally share something that means the world to me the proof copy of my second book, The Sign of Victoria, has arrived! It’s real. It’s 6x9, 420 glossy pages, and absolutely beautiful. Seeing it in my hands for the first time took my breath away.

You can now find The Sign of Victoria available at Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Amazon, and over 45,000 retailers, libraries, and warehouses worldwide.

Earlier, I posted a thank-you to Lumbee Tribe Chief Chairman John Lowery and the PR team (Tasha/Taylor) for their support. I’ve also donated a copy of my first book Signs from the Spirit to Gallaudet University Library, and I plan to donate The Sign of Victoria to:
• The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (a proud Lumbee community)
• Robeson Community College (where my fifth son graduated)

This book represents my journey not just as an author, but as a Lumbee and Deaf woman proud of her heritage and voice.

I wrote The Sign of Victoria as a supernatural thriller with depth. Think: The Haunting of Hill House vibes but this story is mine. Seven students vacation at a mysterious house, only to find themselves trapped in a deadly game involving a gold queen card. That’s all I’ll say for now. 😉

Signs from the Spirit I still have plenty of signed copies available.

The Sign of Victoria not yet signed, but I hope to offer signed versions in the next 2–3 weeks.

You can order both books at www.sondrasampsonbooks.net or any major online store.

Thank you for being part of this journey for supporting Native authors, Deaf creators, and the stories we carry with us.

With love,
