I'm still struggling to believe it but:
4 years and 4 months—to the day!—since I first started writing it,
🎉 Fallen is officially available! 🎉
I realized fairly recently that I actually started writing this book before any of my others were published. My first novel (Mending Heartstrings) was originally published by a small press in December of 2014—almost 5 months after the first words of Fallen were written. It still blows my mind to think about it in those terms. Just a quick reminder about this story:
Violetta Dorée wrings every drop of pleasure from her life, and Manhattan’s social elite are happy to help, pampering their darling with endless luxuries. And why not? She deserves a little fun before she dies.
But there are pleasures money can’t buy. When Adrian Thompson with his box-store khakis and overly concerned eyes insists that Vi’s missing out, her curiosity is piqued. What else can she do but indulge it?
Fans of Moulin Rouge! and Me Before You will love this contemporary retelling of Verdi’s La Traviata.
- It's been quite an experience writing this retelling, which you can read about in these posts:
- A Lists of Firsts with Fallen
- The Story Behind Fallen
- Taking a Consumptive Courtesan into the 21st Century
- Psst. Through 11/6, there's a giveaway happening over on this post to celebrate the release!
