Heir of Ashes
Science Fiction & Fantasy
Roxanne Fosch had a perfectly normal life at the age of twelve. Cool, popular, pretty, smart. Her dreams of a perfect, successful and prosperous future seemed well within her grasp. By the time she was twenty-two she had become a commodity. A fugitive. She was being hunted. As Roxanne embarks on the dangerous quest to search for half-truths about her past, she discovers she’s not just an abnormal human, but a rarity even among her Fee peers. She is hunted by scientists, keen to exploit her extraordinary abilities, as well as other beings far more dangerous whose plans for her she cannot fathom

The inspiration for the book cover: The Low Lands
The Low Lands is a small planet stuck in between dimensions. It is the place where the preternatural beings go for obscure dealings, a transitional point in the lee way parallel to two of the most prominent planets in all dimensions: earth and the Sidhe world. It is a dead planet, where the soil is cracked, the trees dead, and the air frigid, its inhabitants vicious, carnivorous beings. The Low Lands is also the place that inspired the details of the book cover for Heir of Ashes, and it’s not only just a turning point in the novel, the place where the main character uncovers shocking truths about herself and those around her, but one of the high points I had when I was drafting the book.

If the mind was a map, what would it look like?
After re-writing this part twice, I asked myself what the mind would look like for the one controlling it? The answer? Like a network of lights. The stronger the memory, the brighter the light would be. Some thoughts and memories are stronger than others, so some lights would be brighter. And still, some thoughts and memories touch on our emotions. Wouldn't a brilliant red light be perfect for a memory that sparks rage?
