Frederick, MD December 29, 2009 — PublishAmerica is proud to announce that Merle Savage’s book Silence in the Sound is being submitted to the Oprah Winfrey Show for consideration for her famous book club.

“We are very excited to announce that this exceptional book is being considered for Oprah Winfrey’s book club,” said PublishAmerica’s Public Relations Director Shawn Street. “We look forward to the day when the queen of daytime television will introduce this talented author’s work to her millions of fans.”

When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989 more than 100,000 barrels of oil flooded the shoreline, contaminating the pristine waters of the Alaskan Paradise.

Silence in the Sound was written from Merle Savage’s experiences while employed during the pretentious clean-up. Her position as general foreman on the berthing barges, which included a five-hundred-person derrick barge, enabled her to have working relationships with supervisors, beach crews and the entire clean-up operation. This story sheds light on questionable circumstances that transpired during the working conditions between supervisors and their crew members. The precarious expectations from some supervisors toward the female workers, who were in their command, were outrageous and offensive. Included in the dilemma was an unexplained death that occurred just before the shut-down operation began.

Silence in the Sound combines an unusual personal situation with a wide gamut of emotions as the author finds herself in an unusual environment faced with demanding situations. The result is a fascinating real-life adventure story that raises questions which cannot be ignored.
