Coming Soon to a Bookshelf or Reader Near You!

Determined to invigorate the character’s voices and storyline for ShapeShifter: A Comanche Musical, it was Apryl’s original intention to write a storybook, solely for her own use as a guide. To her surprise, the book took on a life of its own and — separate from the musical — shapeshifted into the first novel of a Comanche book series . . .

The first book in the series starts out in Santa Fe, New Mexico then transports the reader between New York and Medicine Bluff in Lawton, Oklahoma — a sacred place known to the Comanche people. Relatives’ names transformed into characters and the narrative has become a magical storytelling whose medicine cleverly interweaves the realities our Native cultures face today, along with histories from Apryl’s family and Comanche accounts. In the end her Comanche lineage has morphed into a world of talking animals and mysterious creatures where her protagonist must untangle a labyrinth of secrets that intertwine the past, present, and future before the world as we know it . . . vanishes.

Apryl is represented by Lisa Gallagher of DeFiore & Company Literary Management in New York. The manuscript of her first novel in the series is currently being read exclusively by publishers and its title will be announced upon publication.
