"The Rise" is probably my favorite work-in-progress. (Yes, I have many. :P) It’s outside my usual style and I think that’s what makes it so exciting for me. I’m one of those authors who believes that there are stories that must be told from somewhere out there in the universe, and I’m really glad that I’m getting to tell this particular story. It’s almost been a spiritual experience.

’The Rise" is meant to be the first book of a trilogy that I’m currently calling The Promised Land Trilogy. I have vague ideas about where this is going, but it’s very much a conduit kind of feeling, where my fingers are typing and words are coming down, but I couldn’t tell you from one minute to the next what’s going to happen. It just... flows.

I love feedback! If you spot errors and point them out to me, I’ll be forever in your debt (though I edit so often, as well as a few friends, that I don’t anticipate having too many). If there’s a running theme that you like, let me know - I might be able to expand upon it! If you have any ideas for romance, also let me know; there is only one strict couple that is set in stone. Overall, I’m welcome to all feedback! I’m very excited to start this journey with you and hope that you enjoy The Rise!
