Summary:Harper Southwood thinks she is a changeling, switched at birth and dropped into a human family so her troll family could raise an attractive child. She is, of course, not really a troll--she's a teenager. She fits in nowhere, not with her beautiful family or her beautiful best friend or on this planet at all, as far as she's concerned. She has one power, or sense, which involves an awareness of when people are getting sick, but she can't sense that her mother has an extremely serious illness or her best friend suffers from a serious depression. It takes Harper dealing head on with the things she can't sense and learning to MAKE sense of them before she can renounce her trollhood and find her place in humanity.
I'd like feedback about how successful I am in portraying the voice of Harper and other characters, as well as how the pacing is working--are enough things happening and enough questions remaining unanswered as you go to build suspense as to what is going to happen next? Chapters: |

Summary:Okay, I'm getting back on track. Much of what is to come is already written... I just seem to be having a hard time with the weeks between Amarillo and OK City, and the first half of the trip to OK City. I'm not sure why, except perhaps this time was just so ordinary. Thanks for continuing to stay with me while I struggle through this part!Chapters: |

Reflecting on the series of events in a downward spiral through darkness and despair, he discovers that a seemingly harmless man can be possessed by demons from a haunted past. His story acts as a reminder of the thin line that separates those who can manage life's changes and those who fall apart in spite of their best efforts. Finally, it is a story of learning, acceptance and personal redemption.Chapters: |
