S. Graves
Author
Graves has been called a ‘powerhouse with a pen’ & tries to live up to that reputation.
Her debut novel, a southern gothic thriller titled The Prayer of the Mantis, is complete and awaiting publication. Work on her latest book, Gemini Son, is ongoing.
She is represented by her agent Madelyn Burt of Stonesong Press.
“It was the prayer of the mantis, pressed and dried in its wooden frame. It was the prayer of someone who was renewed, freed from the confines of the little box they had been born into.”
Excerpt from The Prayer of the Mantis
“Look underneath those praying arms. Rows of razor-sharp spines that she uses to pin her prey. Industrial jaws to eat other bugs alive. And she does it with ease. There is no struggle for a mantis. Do you know who she’s praying to? She’s praying to me. I am her God.”
