Work in Progress
Gwen’s telepathy has no limits. She can hear every mind, control every body, and even take life with half a thought. These heinous abilities should have made her a plague on humanity, but she was saved from that fate. Now she must forever walk the line of fear: No listening in. No coercion. No lies.
When an unseen hand begins manipulating her life, Gwen must decide how much of a monster she’s willing to become in order to save the people she loves.

Gwen
Raised in solitude in the Sacred Wood, Gwen never knew she had a family. But when tragedy reunites them, she must learn to live and love among her people. And above all else, she must not hide who and what she is.

Explore the fantastic world of Little Owl
I have more bonus material for Little Owl than any other project, nearly 80 pages of world building, character sketches, and deleted scenes. Any post containing plot spoilers will have a bold warning at the beginning.
Trigger warning: I am very fond of swearing, and my notes documents were written for an audience of one: myself. Please proceed with this in mind.
