about me

Writing has been my life for as long as I can remember. The first story I told and wrote down was about a troll kingdom existing in my closet. I always lived in an imaginary world and my favorite books were the kind that transported me places and then made me dream of them at night. Story telling will always be a part of me.

As a writer, I am always open to constructive criticism. Any ideas or suggestions a reader may have about the book are more than welcome and much appreciated. I have been writing this book since I was 16 and have read it so many times, I cant always see what it says, reading instead what i think it says or want it to say.

I look forward to the comments and the chance to read lots of great manuscripts from fellow writers.

Just want to say a quick thank you to Jacoba Dorothy for helping me with my long pitch!

NOTE: I am always open to read swaps, but I am currently only seeking comments on later chapters in the story (7 and beyond). Please be aware of this before requesting a read swap. I am open to comments on the first 7 chapters, but would prefer any in depth feedback to be on the later chapters. I also give honest and detailed feedback on more than just a single or a couple of chapters. I expect the same in return.

***After 4 years of writing this final version, The Darkness of Gold is complete at 75,000 words!***

The Darkness of Gold

K.R.Slifer

When a plague threatens to destroy all life, can one girl risk everything to save the kingdom?


Vanora wakes up on her eighteenth birthday. It is the day of her Recognition, the day she needs to prove her worth and prove she is powerful enough to be the next Healer in her Father's Kingdom.

But destiny has other plans.

The Darkness--the Antithesis of Life--has been unleashed, thrusting Vanora into the life of a Healer. Unprepared and afraid, she must leave her home and travel across the land. Her only companions are a royal Faerie named Zane and her spirit animal, Thea. Together they must suffer true loss, battle the minions of Darkness, and struggle with denied feelings of the heart.

Regardless of the cost, Vanora must save the kingdom and defeat the creator of the Darkness... no matter who it turns out to be.


* I would like to thank Phil Partington for my FABULOUS book cover*

Edwin, I've read chapter 6. I liked this Insight/Soul Reading thing. I think this is the perfect example of what i had suggested before, the reader gets some information that is awesome, but enought is left out that we want more. I liked it alot. Terra seems like an astouding person. I did think ... view book

Edwin, Sorry for taking so long to get back to our read swap. I've been really busy at work and i've been sick all week. I've only read chapter 5 because I'm still feeling exhausted. Anyway, I've read chapter five and I still love the story. I think what makes this a slower read for me is sti... view book

YARG Review Julia, I've read the first three chapters and so far it seems pretty interesting. The skin allergy is unique and Jack and Beth have very interesting personlities. The writting is well polished and I only found a few typoes. THe only critique that I had was that the desription was v... view book

Edwin, I've read chapters 3 & 4. This entire realm is beyond intricate and elaborate! So far, I have been to three different places, I think, and the story has barely begun. That is good, but also confusing at times. I found chapter 3 especially confusing. I don't understand what you were referin... view book

Hey Mike! I read your new prologue and I reread your edits for chapter one. I like both a lot more than I did before! I think it moves at a quicker pace and I can picture everything really well. The prologue, in my opinion, could still take a little bit more smoothing out, the dialogue between Ai... view book
