Darken
Emily's home - Magnolia Cemetery
Emily Carson died when she was fifteen. For two years, she has been stuck between the here and there, haunting Daniel – a beautiful boy she loved from afar even in life – who doesn’t know she exists. Or so she thinks. One day, Daniel addresses her by name. He sees her, he feels her, and eventually he comes to love her. Soon Emily is left with a choice: keep Daniel beside her for eternity, or send him back to the life he left behind. The latter will break her heart; the former will do much worse.

The idea for Darken came to me quite suddenly. I was at work, filling my water bottle, and my mind started to wander. It all started with one image – a beautiful cemetery. I instantly knew the cemetery was in Charleston, SC and that it was home to my main character. From there, I watched a poignant love story
unfold in my mind. And by the time my bottle overflowed all over
the lobby floor, I knew I had to write this book.
