You may be thinking to yourself: SHROUD OF DAWN is called “Novel 002” because THE RAVEN was the first book, right? Wrong! THE RAVEN is actually called “Novel 003”. I don’t need to explain myself to you. (I will, though: Novel 001 was a bit ambitious for me, so I shelved it. I’ll circle back to it later. Maybe.) Anyway, Novel 002, SHROUD OF DAWN, is as complete as I can get it at the moment! I have been querying agents since finishing Draft 4, but Draft 5 is the one I’m actually sending out when they request fulls. It...
THE RAVEN was a finalist for the Fiction: Horror category, and won a silver! Which really just means it didn’t win the gold but I don’t care, this is cool as hell! Congrats to fellow silver winner GIRL AMONG CROWS by Brendon Vayo, and especially to the winner of the category, THE WOODKIN by Alexander James! In other, equally as important news: I’ve gotten Shroud of Dawn to a point where it’s essentially as polished as I can get it without just tinkering forever! Now it’s time for me to search for an agent, then, ultimately, do more editing. 😅...
The Raven is out! It’s achieved freedom! That’s! Not great in-universe, to be honest, but here it’s awesome. The Kindle version will be 99c for the first week, so keep an eye out for that. You can also request it at your local library! We stan libraries here at the Gwendolyn Kress Institute, and The Raven has a large print version that you can recommend to your local librarian if you get the chance. If you want to learn more about the book, I have a whole page for it right here! But here’s the quick version: A lonely girl...
Interested in Edgar Allan Poe? How about a teenage girl who manifests demonic entities in her nightmares? Interested in learning more about the definitions of justice and the cyclical nature of pain? Look no further! The Raven, a supernatural horror novel about a girl trying to navigate her daily suffering by dreaming about violent retribution onto her bullies, is coming out in February, and guess what! I (mostly) wrote it! You can pre-order it on Amazon if you feel so inclined. Or you can just click on the link and look at it, for fun.
Hey all! As some of you already know, I’ve completed my work as co-author on a horror novel. I’m excited to give you more information when I can! I probably can right now, but I’m not yet perfectly clear on the rules surrounding announcements and titles and such, so for the time being mum’s the word. (Or mom, if you’re American and your mother is particularly good at keeping secrets.)
