A young woman in New York City decides to spend a year under heavy sedation, hoping sleep will transform her life. Both unsettling and darkly funny, this novel explores grief, privilege, and the desire to escape from a disenchanted world.

I looked at that thing, a folded sheet of paper shaped like I don't know what. “It's in this crap, origami or whatever the hell it is, that the solution lies,” I thought, “a bloody solution obscured by simple folds.”

This morning dazzled us with its sunbeams; if only for a few minutes.

The golden sun rising over the distant horizon broke through the grey and white clouds.

The city buildings of Marseille have yet to come out of the darkness.

BOOK REVIEW

Within this book, the first of a six part series, you will find Anne Shirley, an orphan, being raised by Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew. Learning quickly from the mistakes she makes, Anne grows from a teenager into a young adult.

A wonderful childhood memory

Helping my friends at All Worlds Wayfarer with their dark fantasy anthology Into the Dark has been eye-opening 👁️

I’ve learned a ton about what makes stories stand out.

Sharing those lessons in Saturday’s update. Writers, these are things we don't think about!

On Day 9 of my editing journey for YA fantasy The Honeymaker's Daughter, I'm adding more action and drama, & starting to consider the backstory. 😁
