Mac is just your everyday modern woman trying to navigate the harsh world of dating, and remember who she was after a horrible breakup, while going through a slew of rebound lovers. Love is complicated, and people are messy.
There is a journey we all must take in life to find answers and who we truly are deep down on the inside. This is a story about one person’s journey and recovering from the casualty of trauma that comes from that.
If you like really spicy books (MF/FF), mixed with deeply flawed and relatable characters, “Shadows From The Box” will deliver on that expectation.
Why Self Publish?
I really wanted to tell this story on my own terms. I wrote “Shadows From The Box” in two weeks, hired a freelance editor, and enlisted some close dark romance bookish friends to beta read before deciding to self publish. I know it's not perfect, and not for everyone, but I think sometimes it's the flaws that make something (or someone) beautiful in a unique way. I love having the creative freedom to put my story out there without someone telling me to change it to fit the masses. This is not a book for everyone, it is certainly not a book for the masses. It is a personal story about recovering from abuse and all those crazy-ass curve balls life throws at us sometimes. It is about not being ashamed to be a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality, while still figuring things out at the age of 30. - A. Thorne
