For the intriguing minds eager to unravel another.

I cannot think of a better way for readers to skim through an author’s work before committing to their books, than a page dedicated to one of their favorite excerpts. Of course, in the span of eighteen books within the Loveletting series, it is impossible to gather every single excerpt that I hold dear, so here are just a few of them for you to delve within, just to get a small flavor of my writing style, or peculiarity, whichever you wish. Hopefully you will leave with some impression, be it good, or bad, and yet certainly, I will be left thankful to you for taking the time to read my work.

My goal is to present a few different flavors that a reader will come across these books, as the series is indeed genre-bending, (capturing shades of horror, historical fiction and fantasy, magical realism, gothic romance, etc) and my overall writing style, I would think it to fit the Literary Fiction genre the most:

Literary writing tends to be slower in pacing and is mostly character driven. It innovates and bends genre expectations and writing craft rules. The author may use a complex structure for their story and complex literary devices. It avoids cliché both on plot and on sentence level. The writing is more intentional, often layered in meaning. The story usually happens on three different planes simultaneously: the internal world of the protagonist, the events in the story—plot, and the overarching layer of social commentary.

I hope this general statement may give some further understanding to the structure of my work, as I know it can appear confusing at first, and oftentimes structurally bewildering, but each line and in the manner it is conducted conceals a deeper meaning. For me, at least. In the end, that’s what writing is about to me; a cathartic form of self-expression, words able to convey emotion, and connect minds and hearts alike.

Please keep in mind these excerpts have been formatted to conceal any spoilers. Certain names and sentences have been taken out.

RECORDING EXCERPTS

For those that prefer an audible sample, I hope you appreciate my husband’s take on my books’ excerpts. Perhaps it is a good point to add, he will be the one responsible for all male voices (unless a particularly difficult accent is required) in the books’ Audiobooks.
