The Names We Kept

Beschreibung

Lira Hart has learned to survive in silence in a world where memory is tightly controlled, and those who vanish are erased from existence. But when the name of her missing brother, once forbidden, reappears in her official record, she can no longer ignore the truth hidden beneath the system's lies. With a satchel of forbidden ledgers, Lira descends into the shadowed archives beneath the city, unearthing stories and names the world tried to bury. Each name is a thread of resistance, a testament to lives erased but not forgotten. As she moves toward the surface, carrying proof that challenges the system's silence, Lira must confront the past, reclaim her identity, and spark a movement that refuses to be erased. The Names We Kept is a haunting and hopeful tale of memory, loss, and defiance. Perfect for fans of dystopian fiction and stories about the power of remembrance, this novel will keep you turning pages until the last name is spoken.

Autor

I was born in Canon City, Colorado, to Irish/Scottish parents, grew up in Canon City and Texas, now living in Florida for the last eleven years. My first book, "Arkadia a Druid's Tale," was published on March 1st, 2010. I love to write since I was 14 years of age but never thought myself good enough. When I met a man that encouraged me to fulfill my dreams at the age of 32 and still encourages me to move forward with my new works of art. Now I have the sequel to Arkadia and two others published. I hope you all will enjoy them. When I'm asked if I write about myself, I have to sit back and try not to laugh. I was told that since my characters carry my pen name that my readers think it is about me. The truth is, I write under my characters' name since she is the one who is really writing the book. I'm just her instrument of use. The one that allows her to write through me. Now you might think I'm crazy, but I can assure you, I'm just as sane as everyone else. I don't want people to know my real name. Those who do already think I have lost my ever-loving mind. My family seems to think I should write successful conclusions, where the hero or heroine lives happily ever after. Yet that is not me. I want to write about good/evil, happiness/devastation. I want it where my readers are crying with the characters when they are happy or sad. I want them to want to do murder when the bad guy is out to harm another. I want my readers to cheer when the characters finally have a happy time and things have gone their way. That is who I am. The kind of writer I want to be. So yes I hide behind my main character. I use her to keep me safe.
