Quote of the day - From Turn of Darkness

Turn of Darkness is my upcoming debut novel, set to go live Ostara of 2025. Prepare for a dark and dangerously gothic romance filled with courtly intrigue, vampyres, and morally dark grey men. Villain gets the girl. Lovers to enemies...to lovers? She falls first, he falls harder. Dream stalking. Obsession. Touch her and die. Possibly others, but I think you get the gist. Basically, my dream *swoon*. 

Want a sneak peek of my prose and writing style? Perhaps you're interested in the gothic atmosphere of this story. 

Either way, take a look at the first 3 paragraphs for Turn of Darkness: (unedited)

    The dark cobblestone roads reflected the moonlight off their damp surfaces, creating enough light for me to see as I strolled towards the Athenaeum, taking in the ethereal mist clinging to the ground as if it were a veil to the hidden world lying parallel to this one. As I moved, the haze clung to my ankles, cool and moist, leaving a slick trail of dew on my boots.

         I reached out, letting the moisture settle on my fingertips, feeling as if I were touching the edge of something otherworldly. The earthy, mossy scent of the cobblestones, slick with fog, reminded me of forgotten times, places where shadows whispered secrets no one else could hear.

         The haunting essence of the landscape around me had possessed me so intensely that I had drawn dangerously close to Blackwood Hall without realizing it. At this hour, I was meant to be in that building, among my peers, sitting at a desk and listening to a stiff-lipped woman drone on about the tragedy of The Darkest Turn in History. 

Are you as excited as I am to read this novel? Make sure to pre-order now so you'll be the first one to receive it as soon as it goes live!
