It is Broken Keys Publishing & Press' great honour to announce, Diavian Gunner has signed on to become yet another one our great authors!!
From a young age, Diavian has enjoyed storytelling. Whether it was through music, writing, or creating stories and conveying them in her own way, it is what she lives for.
She grew up writing stories that then turned into poetry that turned into songs. Diavian attended the Millersville University from 2017 to 2021 and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Music Industry with a concentration in music management and voice.
Music and writing has always gone hand and hand for her. Although she has a degree in music, her writing flourished during her university years. In that time, her love for stories was rekindled, due in part, to her English classes. They challenged her skills while broadening her creativity. Since then, she has taken what she's learned and applied to her writing to create more immersive and connective stories.
We are excited for her first upcoming novel, a psychological horror/thriller - tentatively titled New Horizon.
Dawn is a night club singer – beautiful, seductive, confident, sure of herself - at least that's what the world sees.
Beneath the sultry exterior we are forced to discover and witness the abuse and trauma that led her to become the thing she is slowly gravitating towards.
"Is it better to out-monster the monster, or to be quietly devoured?"
―Friedrich Neitzsche, Good and Evil
The descent into darkness and madness is complete as we accompany Dawn, navigating through madness, suffering, sexual abuse, survival, and vengeance. There is light at the end of this tunnel, but on this new horizon sometimes survival means becoming a monster ourselves.
This novella does not back away in its unflinching brutality as it directly faces and confronts profound and the psychologically deep issues of retribution versus justice, the anguish of survival and identity, with disturbing clarity.
Be warned. Here there be monsters.
We are hoping for a late-September/early-October release!
Stay tuned for an advance preview of its upcoming cover!!
