Produktbeschreibung

Out of the Shadows is a raw, heart-wrenching coming-of-age novel that dares to illuminate what so many try to keep in the dark. Fifteen-year-old Emberlynn Hale survives each day like it's a war zone, between the bruises she hides, the silence she endures, and the hope she fiercely scribbles in the margins of her notebooks. Set against a backdrop of chilling winter and emotional wintering, Ember's world is a place where kindness is rationed and survival is the only language spoken.

But beneath the surface, beneath the bruises, beneath the silence, burns a story Ember can't stop telling, even if no one's listening yet. Her attic sanctuary becomes a crucible where she pens invisible rebellions, hidden truths, and the dream of escape to a place where the coffee is warm and the cruelty has no voice. As seasons change, so too does the fragile flame inside her, quiet, persistent, and not as alone as it once believed.

For readers of Girl in Pieces, Speak, and A List of Cages, this novel explores abuse, invisibility, and the slow, stubborn bloom of hope. Out of the Shadows is not just a story of survival; it's a declaration. Of presence. Of worth. Of voice. For anyone who's ever whispered, I'm still here, this book whispers back, I see you.

Autorenporträt

I was born in Canon City, Colorado, to Irish/Scottish parents, grew up in Canon City and Texas, now living in Florida for the last eleven years. My first book, "Arkadia a Druid's Tale," was published on March 1st, 2010. I love to write since I was 14 years of age but never thought myself good enough. When I met a man that encouraged me to fulfill my dreams at the age of 32 and still encourages me to move forward with my new works of art. Now I have the sequel to Arkadia and two others published. I hope you all will enjoy them.

When I'm asked if I write about myself, I have to sit back and try not to laugh. I was told that since my characters carry my pen name that my readers think it is about me.

The truth is, I write under my characters' name since she is the one who is really writing the book. I'm just her instrument of use. The one that allows her to write through me. Now you might think I'm crazy, but I can assure you, I'm just as sane as everyone else. I don't want people to know my real name. Those who do already think I have lost my ever-loving mind.

My family seems to think I should write successful conclusions, where the hero or heroine lives happily ever after. Yet that is not me. I want to write about good/evil, happiness/devastation. I want it where my readers are crying with the characters when they are happy or sad. I want them to want to do murder when the bad guy is out to harm another. I want my readers to cheer when the characters finally have a happy time and things have gone their way.

That is who I am. The kind of writer I want to be. So yes I hide behind my main character. I use her to keep me safe.
