📝 Description: Cold Blooded Desire

S D Cannon presents Cold Blooded Desire, a narrative centered on Satoria, a teenager confronting complex family dynamics. The story questions the identity of her father and the understanding of her sister regarding hidden parental secrets. Characters named Darla and Julian assist Satoria in uncovering these truths as she faces problems beyond typical adolescent struggles. Cannon, who resides in Spartanburg, South Carolina, draws on her experiences as a mother and traveler to craft this tale. Her background includes a devotion to music and stories, suggesting a narrative rhythm influenced by auditory elements. The book is published by Rosedog Books and released in August 2022.

The narrative does not rely on extensive world-building but stays close to Satoria’s personal journey and her interactions with those helping her.
