NetGalley!
My book, A Violet Fire is officially on NetGalley!
Now while this is an exciting time for me, it is also gut-wrenching. I understand that how I write and how I view things may not be interpreted the way that I interpret them. So before anything is accused or said, I want to make two things clear.
1. A Violet Fire is on NetGalley in ARC form. It is not the finished copy. So any and all reviews/feedback is appreciated and will be taken into thoughtful consideration for the final copy.
2. I am an ally in the fight to further include minorities on the shelves with positive representation. So if anything in my writing strikes a sensitivity cord, please let me know.
Thank you everyone who is requesting my book. I am eager to hear your thoughts.

A Violet Fire
My debut novel comes out this fall, promising enormous twists on classic tropes. (!!!!)
A Violet Fire
Is it for you? See below:
Metadata
Audience: YA/NA
Genre(s): Fantasy, Paranormal (VAMPIRES), and a little bit of romance.
Writing Style:First person, present
According to ScoreIT! Evaluation, compares to:
Complete Me in terms of Expressive Complexity, Grammar, and Tonal Quality
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August in terms of Grammar and Tonal Quality
Divergent in terms of Authorial Vocabulary, Expressive Complexity, and Tonal Quality
Overview & Summary
In the Vampire Stratocracy of Cain, human blood is scarce. For centuries, councils have sought to assuage the blood shortage by enslaving and breeding humans, turning them into profitable supply units for the rich and the abled.
Today, eighteen-year-old Wavorly Sterling is officially a supply unit, bound to serve her blood willingly to her master for the rest of her life. One of only few humans that was not bred in Cain, Wavorly knows freedom better than anyone, and she is determined to escape the clutches of her oppressors, even if by the hands of death.
But surprises lay beyond every certainty, and within every doubt. Where Wavorly's hatred for both vampires and her enslavement once flowed free as blood, it merely trickles as she grows to admire her reserved, yet receptive master and savior, Anton Zein.
Although warmed by comforts never felt before, danger still lurks in the castle, and a prophecy calls from beyond the walls of a lavender gate—concealing the horrific secrets lodged between handsome smirks and cinereous eyes. It will take everything within Wavorly to face her fears and her doubts; to harness the truth of her past despite what that means for her future. The only question is, will she?
Set in a richly detailed world of fantasy, A Violet Fire is a gripping journey filled with passion, betrayal, lies, and the encouragement we all need to take a stand for our freedom—no matter the cost."
