YA Novel TENDRIL

SOME OF MY VISUAL INSPIRATIONS FOR TENDRIL
A Contemporary Gothic reimagining of Rapunzel (seeking representation). 

According to the family curse Opal MacBride's albinism and magical living hair will prevent her from finding true love. These aberrations also incite a lustful obsession within the men of her own family.

    1. Thank you! I went to your blog and saw that you like Celtic legends - TENDRIL actually incorporates some Welsh legends.

    1. Thank you! Yes, not your run of the mill YA protagonist by any means :)
