Neale Sourna’s Summary

First novel “Hobble” won BlackRefer.com's Best Novel. Fantasy script “Frames,” about a painter with latent and exponentially growing psychic/sorcery powers—a New Century Screenplay Contest finalist.

I write to character multifaceted depth and character reality, to make the reading experience one that will be repeated; forming exciting the visual mind and genuine feelings within the reader.
