Super excited to share that an excerpt from my upcoming novel Lovely as Marrowbone was longlisted for the Uncharted Magazine Novel Excerpt Prize! This piece has been a long time in the works (and may one day even see the light of day in its entirety). It’s super validating to know other people are as excited about it as I am. Thanks to all the good folks at Uncharted for this positive reinforcement, and here’s to more Marrowbone content in the future!
What’s Lovely as Marrowbone about, you ask? I’m so glad you asked. Imagine the gritty, harsh, monster-filled world of The Witcher with a hardboiled lead, but set in the early 2000s in the deep south. And fronted by a foulmouthed mother of two. It’s a bloody and violent tragedy on the corruptive nature of possessive love, and a mediation on living with the things we can’t change. Watch this space for more!
