Fringe Fiction Unlimited discussion

So I had the pleasure of meeting fellow authors at a book fair in Seattle. Ksenia had so much energy she pulled just about everyone who walked through over to her table. She may be fringe fiction now, but she has a lot of determination!

I Chose to Die is the first in Siren Suicides.


On a rainy September morning that just so happens to be her sixteenth birthday, Ailen Bright, a chicken-legged, straw-haired teenager, decides to commit suicide via drowning in the family bathtub. The ornate marble tub, adhering to her abusive father's love for anything expensive and Italian, is decorated by five sirens - who seemingly help her escape the house when her father breaks down the bathroom door. After an almost-successful suicide attempt number two, which lands her at the bottom of a lake, she learns that sirens are, in fact, real, and they want to turn her into one of them. An amazing, yet dark look into the mind and heart of a suicidal teenager, this urban fantasy follows Ailen's struggle to figure out the meaning of life, the unraveling of her confusing feelings for her theatrically goofy best friend Hunter, and her desperate battle for her father's love.

This sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the rec, Thomas. I'll definitely be checking this out
