DEVILS+HEARTBREAK, Chapter 8

STORIES

Heartbreak, and the way in which people put themselves back together after a devastating loss, has been a major interest of Aud's for over a decade. They firmly believe that what makes us who we are is our arduous journey through the darkness to get to the other side, more so than the happy moments in life, and Aud definitely enjoys giving their characters plenty of darkness to walk through.

Aud's emotive storytelling captivates with tales of love and loss, and hope and healing—from the true stories in their mini-podcast Dear X to their debut novel DEVILS+HEARTBREAK.

DEVILS+HEARTBREAK will be out soon! Stay tuned.
