Bad weather. Forced isolation. Bored, brilliant minds trapped indoors.�In 1816, a villa above Lake Geneva became the accidental birthplace of Frankenstein.
No plan. No outline. Just a sleepless night and a terrifying vision that refused to let go.�Proof that some stories aren’t written. They happen to you.

I cut this scene from No Safe Shore.
Not because it wasn’t good.

It’s the moment Jess first meets Lucas.
The backstory I loved.
The one that had to go so the tension could breathe.
I’m sharing that deleted scene privately with my readers.
If you like quiet dread, complicated relationships, and stories that feel a little too real, you’ll want to read it.
The link in my bio will take you straight there.
