He knows how much I’ve always wanted to write professionally.”Īfter finishing the final draft of Ledge in August 2021, McEwan planned to self-publish. My husband had a big hand in pushing me along as well. “I say that with deep affection, because without those many voices nudging me to go ahead and do the thing, the thing may never have been written. “I am a victim of mass peer pressure,” McEwan says. McEwan, who works as a school teacher in Australia, began writing Ledge in March 2021.
And her precarious journey is only just beginning, as Dawsyn must trust the very being she fears most, to not only ensure her own survival but that of those who remain trapped-and for whom she is their only hope. An axe wielder and the only remaining member of her family, Dawsyn, with the help of a rebel half-human named Ryon, escapes the Glacians’ mountain prison, but her odds of survival are slim. Controlled by winged creatures called Glacians who distribute food in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice, the village offers up Dawsyn Sabar, the book’s protagonist. A gritty fantasy, the book is about a community of humans trapped on a sliver of land between an unclimbable cliff and a bottomless chasm. And after sharing her story ideas with her social media followers-she has more than 300,000 followers on TikTok alone-McEwan was flooded with requests for a book about a human village controlled by mystical winged creatures. A book influencer on multiple platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, Stacey McEwan had written several novels but wasn’t sure she would or could ever sell one to a traditional publishing house.
