Delighted to share the news of the latest release by D.L. Finn – In the Tree’s Shadow: A collection of stories that exist in your dreams… and nightmares.
About the collection
A collection of short stories where dreams and nightmares co-exist.
Nestled inside these pages, you’ll meet a couple in their golden years who take a trip with an unexpected detour, a boy desperate to give his brother the Christmas gift he asked for, a girl with a small glass dragon who is at the mercy of her cruel uncles, or a young mother who has the same dream about murder.
You’ll be introduced to worlds where people get second chances and monsters might be allowed their desires while angels and dragons try to help. Happy endings occur, but perspective can blur the line between good and evil in these twenty-seven tales.
Since the stories vary between 99 to 12k words, whether you have only five minutes or an entire evening to settle into reading, there is something that will suit your time and taste.
Head over to pre-order the collection for April 17th: Amazon UK – And: Amazon US
A selection of books by D.L. Finn
One of the reviews for A Voice in the Silence
One of the elements I enjoy about a D.L. Finn novel is that she always finds a way to weave animals into her story. I’ve come to expect that. What I didn’t expect was the creative and original way she chose to do so in this novel.
Drea Burr has been going through the motions since her husband passed away. She lives in a remote forest location that adds to her solitude, until one day, a dog, a cat, and a rat show up within moments of each other at her home. What follows on their coattails is a whirlwind of a story that includes a serial killer, ghostly interventions, a villain with connections to a drug cartel, and splashes of sci-fi. There’s even a light romantic thread.
It’s hard to say much about this book without giving away spoilers, but the plot quickly involved me on an emotional level. I loved the characters. Drea was especially strong. She didn’t back down when threats engulfed those she loved. Her devotion to the animals and theirs to her was particularly touching. The ending wraps everything with a tidy bow and leaves the reader with a wonderful warm glow. A thoroughly enjoyable read!

About D.L. Finn
D.L. Finn is an independent California local who encourages everyone to embrace their inner child. She was born and raised in the foggy Bay Area, but in 1990 relocated with her husband, kids, dogs, and cats to the Sierra foothills in Nevada City, CA. She immersed herself in reading all types of books, but especially loved romance, horror, and fantasy. She always treasured creating her own reality on paper. Finally, being surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and cedars, her creativity was nurtured until it bloomed. Her creations vary from children’s books, young adult fantasy, and adult paranormal romance to an autobiography with poetry. She continues on her adventures with an open invitation for her readers to join her.
Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you will be leaving with some books. Sally.
