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.


***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*

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

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

Hey Mike, So I read the first chapter and I find the story much more interesting. The pace was a little bit faster, but I think I realized what kind of throws me a bit out of the story. Its that there is a lot more telling than showing. The reader gets a list of what people are like as a characte... view book

Dyane, Gosh I love this so far. I think the beginning is well paced, not too slow, and draws the reader in with the imaginative characters and the saddness that the world is dying. I'm endeared to the Eagles and I have hope for the Nardinites. I want Charlotte to rally and bring hope. I've only r... view book

Mike, I like this prologue a lot better. It was much more epic. I thought the guardians thing was creepy and gross and that the pace was much better. I'd still like something else. I don't know. Something that will immediately tie this story into the next part where the story really begins, like ... view book
