The one behind  the story: V. Vokken

Mom told me to leave a legacy, so I did...in the most literal way possible. 

​

See, I write to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. 

 

I have been writing stories ever since I could hold a pencil, and now I’m 18, in my junior year as a creative writing major at the University of Cincinnati. I am a proud member of SCBWI, International Thriller Writers, and Sackett Street Writers. I have been awarded 7 five-star reviews for my book on Readers' Favorite. I’ve built palaces out of paragraphs that I take up residence in and hope to invite the world into someday. I’ve created a world so dangerously spectacular for my books to take place in. On one side, it’s decadent and glamorous, full of teenage debauchery; on the flip side it’s dingy and dark, brimming with unsolved mysteries and catastrophe. This psychological thriller novel I have meticulously created celebrates the way our stories are all intertwined. My book centers on six main narratives, and I made that choice because I wanted every person who read my book to be able to be moved in some way by something they feel connected to, because writing and reading is truly an individual, interpretive process. I hope my tale of tragedy and triumph keeps people up at night. I hope it makes them laugh and cry and think and wonder.​
