I gave my voice for love, and drowned myself in silence. For him, I walked on knives and left my weightless seas. I bargained with my fear and turned aching eyes toward the sun.

WYLDSIGHT: TALES OF PRIMAL FANTASY features six of my short stories, plus author notes and a preview of my novel-in-progress Holy Creatures to and Fro. Following the Wild Girl archetype through different settings and tales, Wyldsight‘s been getting good word from our readers:
“...I found myself several times stopping to go back and read a particular phrase again, sometimes aloud, because where the author particularly excels is in putting together words in a way that resonate, that want to be said aloud…”
“If you have a mystical bent, you will not be disappointed by Wyldsight.”
