Partial Veil

I’ve been a writer pretty much my whole life. I don’t have much published because it’s never quite taken top priority… until now.

I’ve written an audio drama, y’all! Buckle up, buttercup, because this is gonna be one heck of a bomb-diggity adventure. Partial Veil was influenced by many different things I’ve seen, read, and listened to over the years, but if I had to really dial it in, I’d say it’s a mix of Twin Peaks, Fargo and Lucifer. And, I mean, if that doesn’t sound pretty flippin’ cool to you, I’d check to make sure you have a pulse.

The script has been written, the cast has been assembled, and production will soon start. I hope to start airing episodes in the Fall of 2024. I’ve never taken on a project so big before, but I have a huge support system in the voice acting and audio drama productions communities, and I aim to make Partial Veil the best it can possibly be.

If you are a fan of spooky, moody, tension-filled drama, you’ll have to tune in. I use the tern “horror” genre to describe it, but I feel like that’s almost doing it an injustice. It is horror, but it’s more along the lines of classic, suspenseful horror. It has it’s share of true horror, but the mystery of what’s really going on in Partial Veil Forest is the driving force behind the story. It explores complex ideas of humanity - the masks we were each day to convince the world (and ourselves?) we are who we think we are. The lies we tell to protect those we love, and the hidden truths that threaten to destroy the precisely cultivated facades we’ve created if revealed.

In 1965, a young girl disappeared into Partial Veil Forest. Three days later she walked out of the woods with no memory of the time she was gone, and no idea where she had been. Thirty-three years later her best friend has gone missing without a trace and Josie Ward must finally confront the truth of her disappearance, and her fear of Partial Veil Forest, before the small town of Baron, North Dakota descends into madness.

Partial Veil is a story about humanity and nature, and the capacity for beauty and savagery that lie within both. Humanity, like nature, can be nurturing and awe-inspiring, but also brutal and cruel. Existence itself depends on the ever-flowing cycle of birth and death, creation and destruction. True understanding of our universe has evaded scientists and philosophers throughout the ages, mostly because they weren’t looking in the right place. The answer is simple, really. If only they knew what was growing in Partial Veil Forest…
