The good news keeps on coming. THE SOFT FALL has FIVE full manuscript requests! The dream of becoming published may well become a reality. If a writer’s job is to convey emotion through words, then I’m on a temporary mental vacation because I can’t words. I’m speechless. I’m beyond thrilled.
While anticipating my novel’s fate within the next few weeks, I’ll keep this page updated with any further news. For now, if you want to know what my story is about (werewolves, an empire at war, a bow-and-arrow wielding heroine), and what it might look like cinematically, watch my minute-long unofficial book trailer.
Wow! There are ten of you already! Although new to Inkshares, THE SOFT FALL has been a WIP for some time now. And although it’s still in the querying stages, I’m thrilled to announce the manuscript has been requested by two agencies at this time. It’s closer to traditional publication than ever before. I look forward to sharing this journey with you, and I appreciate all your encouragement, enthusiasm, and commentary thus far.

In the desolate, theocratic village of Awl-Feth, anyone suspected of lycanthropy is declared demonic and burned alive. Nineteen-year-old Dianna’s wolf is hidden under her skin, and it wants out.
After a vicious attack reveals her monstrous secret, Dianna is faced with her worst fears: her father executed, her brother missing, and her life at the mercy of the tyrannical village High Elder. She must flee to the very place that corrupted her years ago – the wild woods of Silbarran – and join the other wolves living there. And while each harbors a dark past, no one’s is darker than that of Aimes, the mute healer with a strange and tragic gift.
But as the High Elder calls upon imperial mercenaries to purge the woods, another army is rising to bring the empire to a bloody end. It is up to Dianna to reconcile with her own nature as she and her new allies fight for their lives. For Silbarran is an intricate prison of inexplicable magic, and there’s nowhere to run…
