Author, J. Scott O’Shea was born in the town of Westmoreland, Kansas; thereafter raised in Paxico, Kansas for the remainder of his childhood. He went on to attend Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas where he continues to live at this time. Aimlessly searching for his calling through college and beyond, he frequented various careers, aside from ending up a wandering nervous actor, and a short-lived entrepreneur. As it ended up, the last two endeavors took him to where this story began.

    Effect of A Whisper is the first book in O’Shea's promising writing career. It is a story he was first reluctant to write then hesitant to share. The events, which he conveys, began only as a record for his voided memories.  Consequently, he struggled with the reason and the push to unleash his story onto others. It is his sincerest wish that others amongst us can gain an understanding, and find hope where they could not find it before.
