Stuart McNaughton lost his hearing as a young baby. From a young age, he would find ways to retreat from the hearing world, a world in which he was frequently bullied and/or discriminated against. One of these ways was through the discovery of books. From his early teens, he would read for hours each evening. Before leaving school, he started writing short stories. Nowadays, Stuart is a practicing psychotherapist, supporting individuals with mental health and hearing loss concerns. 'He Is Not Me' is Stuart's first published work and covers a range of themes that are experienced by those with hearing loss. With the support of volunteers, Stuart's book is available in English, Spanish, German, Danish, Hungarian and Brazilian Portuguese. What readers have been saying about He Is Not Me: "Well-written, eloquent, heartfelt - your book moved me to tears."
