A scream ripped through the air from the woods behind our neighborhood, guttural, wild, human, and lingered for a moment, muffled by distance, before it cut off abruptly.
******************
Anya expects to find nothing when she and Matt venture into the woods behind their neighborhood, but an old house and a late-night ghost hunt lead back to her family and a secret that no one has dared to air, and questions only lead to more questions and the realization that her world is bigger than she ever imagined.
Read the first five chapters of Riddle, coming in June!
I was born and raised in North Carolina. I've been working on the Riddle universe since November of 2001, and just recently finished the first book in the trilogy.
A lot of what inspired me didn't come until after college. Even though I grew up in North Carolina, the setting of the book wasn't my home until much later. Thanks to my senior history paper, I was inspired to create a background element for the story that would add some history to the fictional town of Salt's Creek.
I'm currently working on the sequel to Riddle, and I'm pretty excited with the direction the story has taken.
