Secrets That We Keep by David Caldwell
About
David Caldwell 
Blinded in 1980 at the age of 24, the author David Caldwell learned computing skills almost 10 years later when he started doing voluntary work for a local charity in Northern Ireland.
In his spare time he reads many novels supplied in audio format by the Royal National Institute for the blind, and it was when reading books by Jilly Cooper and Jackie Collins,to name but a few, that he was inspired to use his newly found skills and write Secrets That We Keep.
Although written as fiction and slightly racey, based on many true events, it was only made possible because of the help and encouragement of his many friends.
Should you decide to purchase a copy, he requests that when you finish reading it, you don't pass it around, as the more sales he gets the quicker the next title will hit the shelves.
During the time he was writing with the aid of a synthesised computer voice, because he couldn't read the typed script for himself, David decided to have it read by a professional so as to aid his proof reading, and after sending it to Birmingham Alabama to an ex-radio broadcaster, he was so impressed with the voice and the way the reader put emphasis on all the different characters, that with a few minor alterations to the story, and by adding in a few sound effects in key places, he was able to produce it as an audio book which lasts for almost 32 hours.
To his sheer amazement, it was only after the reader had completed more than half of the story, that David discovered he was totally blind himself and was reading the text by listening to an auto prompter. So by revealing these facts and producing this book in its present format, David also hopes to inspire other blind people to take up the challenge and do something constructive with their lives. David also writes romantic poetry and lyrics to songs.
