Hello everyone!
I'm sorry for being away for so long, but I am back and now working on the sequel to The Boy with Words for Skin! I'm very excited to start sharing this early next month, so consider this an early Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanza present from me to you!
Want a sneak peak into The Girl Without Eyes? See below for the first couple of pages. I'm so excited to see what you all think once I start posting!
The Girl Without Eyes
Chapter One
I am dead.
I’m dead.
I am no longer alive.
It doesn’t matter how I say it because the words always sound so wrong. Not because I haven’t accepted that I’m dead. I have accepted it. As awful as it is, that’s the simple truth. I’m dead. It’s just strange to think of myself as being dead because, well, here I am. There was no light at the end of a tunnel, and there was no ceasing to exist. For me, death was neither an end nor a beginning.
If I don’t sound very upset about dying, it’s because I’m not. Maybe I’m in denial, or maybe the full impact of my death hasn’t sunk in—I haven’t been dead for very long, I think—or maybe it’s just difficult to be upset when it doesn’t seem like much has changed. I’m still in 407 West Marshall Street, and I’m still away from my family, and I’m still unhappy about both of those things.
