Part I: The Beginning
Gothic soap opera, supernatural, epic saga, female protagonist
The first novel I ever write is so big and sprawling that Amazon forced me to separate it into two parts.  It's Dark Shadows  meets Knots Landing and it's the epic tale of two families - the Loves and the Savages - and how they are bound by blood, love, vengeance, and desire. From the cliffs of Nightfall, Maine to the snow covered mountains in Oslo, this is a tale that grips you by the throat and never lets go.
