Cast and Fall

The idea to write my first book, Cast and Fall came from my love of paranormal/ fantasy books, mostly young adult, and also from a very imaginative young girl. When I was a pre-teen, I've had constant ideas in my head, and one of them was the idea of an angel; at the time and being that I was twelve, I didn't feel that it was entirely a made up story--for one, because I believed in the existence of angels, and believed in the nature for which they were created; savior, healer, etc. and destroyer, punisher and things most people would be too scared to associate angels with. So there goes the story in my head, that a fallen angel fell in love with a human girl. After all, opposites do attract and what is more opposite than an angel/ human relationship.

So, several years passed...apparently 28, I'm 40 now. I actually stopped reading for awhile, well, because I got busy, got married, had three kids, started a business, etc.,etc. Then one summer, I picked up a book at the library while taking my daughters (yes, I have study sessions with them during the summer) and after I have read countless books (borrowed and bought) I realized the disconnect of some authors with the readers. Then it hit me. I needed to write the story that I had been holding on for years, and hopefully be able to translate all the characters' passion and emotion into my writing.

The problem was, in recent months and maybe a couple of years now, there had been a saturation of angel books all over the place and felt, maybe I should write something entirely different. -a long pause here-The thing was, I really wanted to write this story specifically, and being a writer was never the goal. So after deliberating and bracing myself, I started typing, editing, formatting and after a long year, I self published Cast and Fall on kindle on September 2012.

Here's the book description from Amazon:

Haunted by the mysteries of her past--eighteen year old Katheryna tries desperately to reclaim her life--when she meets a stranger; the beautiful and enticing--Tristan. He frightens her in ways she couldn't really explain. Intrigued by the coincidences of their encounters, and despite his unnatural aggression toward her, Katheryna embarks on a quest to find answers where she is bound to uncover a hidden world that unravels the mysteries of her past, and soon realizes that their lives were more tangled than she dreamed or imagined.

Dangerously forbidden and purely addictive, Cast & Fall is a dark romance with wild twists and turns that will lead to circle of lies, love, hate and danger that would eventually collide with the truth that lay behind Katheryna's attraction and fears?

'As if I understood it--the collision of his words that would tip my world upside down. Then, his lips uttered the most beautiful words; his face in anguish; my heart momentarily balanced on a thin thread of blazing fire and ice.'

'Every hidden fear in his eyes, every pain, every doubt that lingered--sends a fear in me like wildfire that threatened my very soul.'
