Karli Rush was born in the heart of Cherokee Nation and lives in its capital. Her Native American heritage holds sway over her writing in many ways. She has the patience of a brain surgeon operating under fire in a war zone. You can chalk that up to her being the mother of an autistic kiddo. With the passion of a starving artist, she writes. The obsession to tell her tales have led her to write novels in the worlds of Dark Paranormal Romance, Dystopian, and Vampires. She walks in two worlds, one grounds her and the other frees her imagination.

A coven of witches shrouded in secrecy, forged for one intent… vengeance against the powerful Styx Hegemony. Asha was raised to kill for that intent, a ghost in the dark, a master of illusion, one of the Datura’s deadliest blades.
Soryn was born into the Styx bloodline, heir to a dynasty built on witch‑fire, power, and ruthless control.
Each sees evil in the other.
Each believes the other is the threat.
But when Asha infiltrates Soryn’s domain, the lies, illusions, and buried histories between them begin to crack. As bodies vanish, identities blur, and witch‑fire burns through the Solstice Festival, both hunter and hunted must confront the same terrifying question…

When the masks fall, will the truth save them or destroy them all?

“I'm a romance kinda girl, but I have a Stephen King heart.♥ Karli Rush”
Karli Rush

“Positive actions draw positive returns, and negative actions draw negative returns,”
Karli Rush, Crescent Bound

“If we allow the negative to take over, it will quickly consume us to the point we will lose control.”
Karli Rush, Crescent Bound

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”
Edgar Allan Poe

“I'm a romance kinda girl, but I have a Stephen King heart.♥ Karli Rush”
Karli Rush

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“Every moment of the night
Forever changing places
And they put out the star-light
With the breath from their pale faces”
Edgar Allen Poe

Jackson Burnett Karli, have you ever read "Danse Macabre" by Stephen King? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...

This is a book by Stephen King about how he writes horror stories. (Or at least, used to.) He's a good writer and reading this book helps you see how good of a writer he is.
