Quick Synopsis: Margaret lives in a constant state of fear. Fear of her mother, whose constant state of anger and unwillingness to speak of Margaret's past have long since pushed Margaret away. Fear of disappointing her father should he ever discover the events of that day. Most of all, Margaret lives in fear of her abuser's return. Margaret turns to self-harm to cope with her pain and fear. Only when her self-inflicted injuries bring her near death does she realize she has the power and the support from an unlikely place to stand up to her fears and believe in herself again. Tristis Manor is a novella from The Never Chronicles, an epic fantasy series.

Thank you for your honest reviews.

Release day for Tristis Manor!

by J.R. Wagner




The day is finally here!

Tristis Manor is now available to the public.


I had originally planned to offer Tristis Manor for free but when I discovered RAINN, I realized that being able to help others who may have experienced similar atrocities as Margaret, the main character in Tristis Manor was just too important.

So please remember that ALL proceeds for the next 4 months go to RAINN, a truly wonderful charity.  More details about them below.
