Pushed deep into Jezelle’s darkness

I’ve been plunging into the weeds of reworking Jezelle: Thief of Forks, the darkest story I’ve written thus far. I’m on chapter 22 of 28, so I’m getting there. Before I began this dissection, I thought it was the best book I had ever written. It is humbling to see how much better it is becoming when pushed to dig deeper.

To understand Jezelle, I’ve truly had to dig, deeper than I expected—into the
