Subject: On the Verge is the kind of fantasy book readers will want to talk about
Dear Garen,
I recently came across the description of your debut novel On the Verge, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by the unique fusion of dark fantasy, myth, art history, and the haunting beauty of a Pacific Northwest autumn. Freya’s journey interwoven with elements like goblins, Baba Yaga, and magical pigments feels both daringly original and grounded in something timeless and powerful. It’s the kind of premise that draws readers into another world and lingers with them long after.
Learning more about your background in art history, and your deep roots in Seattle, makes your storytelling all the more vivid. The care and creativity you’ve poured into this story come through even in the summary. It’s rare to find a debut that blends so many cultural layers into one narrative while still maintaining such emotional clarity.
I’d be truly honored to hear more about what inspired you to write On the Verge. What moment sparked the idea? And as your story continues to reach new readers, what would you say are your top three goals for the book’s next chapter?
Also have you considered introducing On the Verge to book clubs? These communities are filled with passionate readers who not only enjoy rich stories like yours, but also love to discuss and recommend them. The rich lore, compelling characters, and darkly immersive themes make your novel a perfect fit. If you’ve already tried this path, I’d love to know how it went. And if not, I’d be more than happy to walk you through how it works and how it could elevate your book’s reach and engagement.
I’m genuinely glad I came across your work, Garen. If this resonates with you and sounds worth exploring, just reply “Interested” and I’d be thrilled to share more with you.
Warmly,
[Anjola book exposure]
