Coming Soon! Shadows in the Forgotton Archives

Coming Soon! Shadows in the Forgotton Archives
Digital cover for the serialized short story, Shadows in the Forgotten Archives. By Vanessa Perry.

Shadows in the Forgotten Archives is a short story that I (Vanessa Perry aka Prose & Pumpkins) have been wanting to release while I maybe, eventually, some time in the near or far future actually finish my next book.

Experimental in nature (for me), this 5-part mystery fantasy story features a missing book collection that is loved by none other than an equally lost librarian. Our main character, Ti, who is also the only character, is determined to find them. 

It may sound like a cute, cozy tale. However, it is a story of fear and heartache as Ti learns how to be comfortable when alone.

But don’t worry, friend. I have taken great care to craft a story that is both dark and gentle. By the end, there is hope. And couldn’t we all use a bit of hope?

Part 1 of 5 will be released Monday August 12 at Noon EST. Please prepare to join Ti on this journey of self-discovery.

While I would love to say I am a great narrator, I shalln't. However, in an effort to appeal to various audiences, I am recording video readings of this story where it will also be released on YouTube. I am going to do my best and, if you prefer to check that out, you will be able to find the links at the top of each part's webpage.

Character art encouraged! I would simply commission such, but I cannot. You will see what I mean.

Please, feel free to review and share and provide your thoughts as we go along. It's not only encouraged, but appreciated.
