About Me
D.B. Smyth
Thank you for giving Keres (and me) a chance. If you like to read about monsters and darkness and the gritty parts of life as we explore redemption, destruction, pain, and secrets, then I’m your gal.
But be warned, I don’t hold back.
I won’t keep you safe. I won’t protect you from truths forged from sharp words and raw emotion — beware, they cut.
And I won’t apologize for shining a light on the dark, seedy underbelly of humanity that people try to cover with plastic smiles and plugged ears.
I write for those hungry to be captivated… thrilled… left gasping for breath as they turn just one more page.
I am shadow glitter.
A dark unicorn in the pitch-black.
A Molotov cocktail with a world to light on fire.
And when I’m not exploring the redemption found in darkness and the beauty in chaos, I can be found resting and reading souls in Sin City.
