ABOUT ME

I’ve been writing since I’ve been diagnosed with complex PTSD and bipolar depression. My writing started as a form of therapy. My initial stories were more connected to the trauma I went through. When the pandemic hit, I was left jobless and I found myself in the rabbit hole of reading online novels. I got frustrated on how trauma survivors were written. Inspired by the books I’ve read, I worked on my first novel. The protagonist I created is a trauma survivor, and how she is portrayed is more realistic. Her actions and behavior are consistent with an actual person dealing with PTSD. All the while I keep it all fictional, the story evolving with a life of its own. By 2021 I found the courage to submit my first manuscript and after some major edits my first story found a home in Dreame. As I wrap up my first story, I’m excited that I have new stories; my next one still with a strong female protagonist. My aim is to tell a fictional story but have a proper representation of how someone would PTSD would behave. I want them to come out in the end stronger than how they started, while still giving a story that everyone would enjoy.

At 12 years old, Danny and her mom were attacked by werewolves. She watched her mother get killed, while she herself was r***d and tortured. She was found two days later by the authorities. She has never revealed to anyone what exactly happened to her, and has kept her secret from family and friends. The trauma caused her to suffer from PTSD, she has tried to kill herself and has had psychotic episodes and night tremors. She did not respond well to therapy. Her father was a captain in the clandestine group called Werewolf Hunter Confederation (WHC), and he was on a mission when this happened. He trained Danny in the ways of werewolf hunting, to help her cope with her trauma. Danny has taken the training to become a warrior to heart, her primary motivation is to avenge her mother’s death. She plans to finish school a year earlier so she can join the WHC when she turns eighteen. She’s only had three friends since childhood: Blake, the popular kid in school, and identical twins Lucas and Jacob. She was especially close to Blake, but he pushed her away when she sought comfort. Lucas’ and Jacob’s family had to move away not soon after the incident. Losing her friends made it even worse for Danny to cope with her trauma. In reality, Blake, Jacob and Lucas were born werewolves. Blake is next in line to be the Alpha of the Black Moon Pack. The fateful night when he pushed Danny away when she needed him was also the same night he first turned. Jacob and Lucas are Alpha Princes. They moved away because, like Blake, they too needed to tame their wolves before they can be part of human society. Fast forward to Danny at 18 years old. She has maintained being a loner all these years, but her life is upturned when popular boy Blake suddenly takes an interest in her, and Lucas and Jacob are back in town. They all have their own agendas for wanting to be back in Danny’s life, and it all comes to a head when the secrets they all keep from each other clash.
