I hope everyone had a safe 4th of July. My family had a wonderfully lazy afternoon at the house visiting, eating, and playing with flammable things. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the holiday.
Today I am celebrating two birthdays. Most importantly, Happy Birthday Grandma Chorpenning!!! I hope 99 treats you as well as the first 98. Wish I could be there to celebrate with you. Also, today is the official release day of Souled Out, my new adult/16+ YA supernatural novel. Happy Birthday!
Ell Clyne is lost living someone else's life. But reading souls to save the fate of a loved one seemed like a fair trade.
At first.
The lie has cost Ell her family, her future, her very soul. Now the secret is out and the vampires want answers. Becoming a pawn in her own conspiracy and being abducted more times than a psychiatrist might recommend, Ell just wants to stay alive and reclaim her life without burning something down.
Oops, something else.
This is the story of a girl who isn't a superhero or a badass, but manages to fight for her place in a cold-blooded world regardless of the pain caused by that empty space where her soul should be.

Prologue
I never expected eternity to feel so damn long.
The real shame is that it’s barely started. I took the vow four years ago to
become the Cypher, but hadn’t figured on life losing its patina until I was at
least a hundred, maybe two hundred years old. And the prospect of eternity,
especially in this town, will drive a girl unequivocally mental.
It seemed like a sweet deal at first. Live forever
without becoming the undead. Possess a bank account that can support a small island.
Days and holidays subject to my whim. And all I do in return is a little soul
searching. But it turns out that reading souls, which saved someone very dear
to me, has left me with one dangerous mother of a secret. Oh, and a hole next
to my heart where my own soul used to be.
I learned quickly what my world was… And more importantly, what it could
never be.
My life isn’t normal because I am no longer normal. I’m twenty and
already put out with the world. And now the monsters are growing wise to my conspiracy.
Am I ready for what I’ve started?
