Timothy Usry is a deaf writer whose debut novel, Laufield and the Secret Laboratory, brings powerful visibility to the Deaf community through storytelling that celebrates courage, identity, and resilience.
Blending vivid imagination with heartfelt authenticity, Timothy introduces Laufield, a deaf hybrid character who navigates a world that was never built to hear her. Through her journey, he captures the beauty of American Sign Language and the unspoken strength of Deaf culture.
His work stands as a tribute to perseverance and pride, offering Deaf readers a reflection of themselves rarely seen in fiction and inviting all readers to experience the world through the eyes and hands of silence…
Laufield and the Secret Laboratory follows the extraordinary journey of Laufield, a deaf, half-cat, half-rabbit hybrid who communicates through American Sign Language and wears hearing aids. Born in the abandoned kitchen of an Italian restaurant, she is the daughter of Garfield the cat and Lau, a part-human rabbit engineered in a secret underground lab run by the ruthless Dr. Nestor Hosley in Lexington, Kentucky.
After Lau’s daring escape and a fateful encounter with Garfield, love gives life to Laufield, and a story of survival begins. Raised in secrecy, lost in the woods, and later discovered by the Winnie family in California, Laufield learns to embrace Deaf culture and becomes a global icon, challenging the world’s understanding of what it means to be alive.
But when Dr. Hosley’s buried experiments resurface, darkness returns. His agents track Laufield down, determined to silence her and erase every trace of the lab’s creation. Captured and imprisoned beside other hybrids, Laufield must summon every ounce of courage to escape, reunite with her mother, and expose a truth powerful enough to change science, and humanity forever
