Written by Karla Trippe, When the Birds Stopped Singing is a magical realism story about Caroline Howard, a young girl who experiences a traumatic childhood. In the forests of Colorado, she meets Serena, a wood nymph. Secretly, she instructs Caroline in different spiritual modalities to help the girl as she struggles with abuse, deadly sicknesses, and bullying. Serena introduces Caroline to many aspects of spirituality. With Serena’s help, Caroline uncovers the purpose of her current life’s incarnation and discovers love along the way.
“‘I told you that yours was not an easy life. You will find peace, but first, you must prepare to do battle.’ Karla does exactly this in her work, which is a stirring, often heart-wrenching rendition of magical realism that simultaneously keeps audiences on their toes with a compelling plot while driving to the root of a deeper point and a problem that is far more rampant than meets the eye,” said The US Review of Books.
This book is a beautiful gift for people interested in spirituality or who enjoy reading fantasy-type fiction.
“As a trained shaman, medium, and reader of the Akashic Record, I work with people to answer their perplexing questions using many different spiritual modalities,” says Karla. Known as the Chic Spiritualist, Karla has built a community of followers through her blog on female empowerment, spirituality, and traumatic healing topics. Karla offers various spiritual services, including Tarot Card Readings, Akashic Record Readings, Chakra Clearing, and Fire Ceremonies.

Karla is also the author of Scenes from the Valley, which takes readers to Silicon Valley in the 1990s and tells the real story of why more women haven’t reached the upper echelon of management. The book embodies the #MeToo movement by exposing the difficulties women face in climbing up to the C-suite and revealing choices women had to make in response to a precarious work environment. Each chapter ends with career guidance based on the chapter’s lessons. This book is the perfect gift for a recent college graduate or someone struggling to move their career forward.
When not writing books, Karla blogs about female empowerment, spirituality, and traumatic healing. She resides in SaddleBrooke with her husband Dave and their two bonded rescue cats Frank and Joe.
