This is my first attempt at a novel. It is very raw and very green. The central concept of this spooky thriller is the idea that your eyes are the windows to the soul. The villain is a soul stealer and his victims suffer from losing the pupils and color in their eyes. The protagonist was actually inspired as I tried to brainstorm a character that would appeal to Northwoods Woman magazine reader for their writing contest. I had this image of a bloody, battered woman emerging from the fog, using the last ounce of her strength to row a canoe to shore, with a little girl in the bow. I had to figure how what her story was. This is the result.

Here is the winner of this writing contest.
Part of the contest is a promotional piece. You need to be able to get people to read and rate your work. I currently am not focused on this aspect of my writing. When I'm ready to start actively pushing my work, I'll get back to AuthorStand..
