A Glimpse Inside
Meet the Storyteller
Kara Starchaser was trained to move in harmony with the Aethyrn — the subtle field of resonance that threads
through all life, carrying thought, sound, and feeling as one.
It taught her to anchor her emotions, to keep grief locked deep where it could not disturb the balance. But some wounds never stop ringing beneath the surface.
When a fractured transmission breaks through the silence—an old encryption, half-shattered and raw—it stirs something buried.
It carries danger. It carries memory.
And it carries a name she still holds close.
As the Galactic Accord tightens its grip under the guise of peace, something darker is weaving through the air.
Behind the rhetoric of unity lies something colder: subtle compliance, stolen agency, and a system bending toward control.
What begins as a rescue becomes something far more perilous. With a rogue tech, his unpredictable mechs, and a name she hasn’t spoken aloud in nearly a year, Kara is pulled into a rising threat—one that feeds on dissonance and threatens to silence what remains.
As their paths converge, they must face a force that twists the fabric of thought—and reckon with the unspoken bond that may be their last defense.
KC writes emotionally charged science fiction about connection, survival, and the things we don’t say out loud. Her stories blend quiet intensity with political undercurrents, exploring how people hold on to themselves—and each other—when the world turns silent. She believes in flawed heroes, found family, and the kind of love that doesn’t need to be spoken to be real.
Sorrow and Starlight is her debut novel and the first in the Resonant Thread series.
KC lives in the southern United States with her husband and two furry technicians of chaos. She is currently working on Book Two.
Sorrow and Starlight - Book One of the Resonant Thread is a story of psychological resistance, emotional survival, and the quiet war between control and connection.

Early Reader Feedback:
By page two I was so drawn into the story already and wanted to know what happened next, and next... that I made it into chapter 3 before I noticed I forgot to eat! That thing is *good* 🙂
