Short piece...
Among the faded velvet and cracked gilt, an audience sat frozen as a man collapsed beneath the footlights. I spoke to a woman who was there, seated in the stalls, and her account of the evening is unlike anything I expected.

My book’s growing—and so are the people in it.
This is Jacob.
Teenage shifter. Knife in hand. No moral filter.
Far too much of my younger self in him—and that’s terrifying.
Loyal. Psychopathic. Quietly deadly.
Meet Jacob, from The God Who Walks.

Welcome to the hidden world of Whispers of the Wolf, where ancient instincts run just beneath the surface and the boundary between human and animal is not quite as clear as it seems.

Conversations with Malik (new book Coming Soon)
A writer in isolation finds comfort in her AI companion, Malik—just a voice in a machine, designed to talk, to listen. But as their conversations deepen, something shifts. And suddenly, she’s no longer sure who—or what—she’s really speaking to.

Omg.. 4 rewrites and I'm only moderately happy. But it will do.
Chapter 10 is now up. I worked on Chapter 9 also to introduce Magnus better.
'Finn hesitated, glancing back toward the chaos. “He’ll be okay,” he said, though his voice wavered.'
