Paranormal Suspense

Date Published: May 20, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

 

Matteo Ferrari has always been different. Gifted with unsettling clairvoyance, he sees shadows where others see light and hears whispers from the unknown. But when he fails to protect the ones he loves, his abilities vanish, leaving him lost and desperate. To reclaim his powers and find a new path, Matteo abandons his old life and ventures into the Alaskan wilderness.

Gabriella Valentina knows the pain of loss all too well. Once enchanted by the spotlight, she now flees from her past, seeking refuge from fear and sorrow in the same wild expanse.

When Matteo and Gabriella’s paths cross amidst the eerie beauty and hidden dangers of the Yukon, they must confront not only the shadows of their pasts but also the dark forces that lurk in the forest, waiting to claim them.

Interview

What is the hardest part of writing your books?

1) Sometimes I repeat something and don’t identify the issue for a while or even ever, and the editor catches it.

2)Keeping a great thought going without losing what I really wish to convey.

3) making sure I write when my mind is ready, and that can be very hard when you have other responsibilities in life, like walking the dog!

4) Making sure what I am currently writing is believable to me alone.

What are your most played songs?

I like 60s, 70s, and 80s Rock and Roll, but nothing that is played way more. But If I had to choose, it would be Tom Petty with Free Falling leading the way. Next would be Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones.

Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

Yes, I had 6 beta readers for Saving Yukon. For my next book I will do the same, but I will request that my readers finish the book in 30-60 days. I find that more helpful to me and also the readers seem to grasp more of my book when they read it faster or with daily consistency.

What book are you reading now?

The Wager by Grann.

How did you start your writing career?

I actually wrote the first chapter about 8-10 years before I began writing in earnest. And the first chapter did not change much. I just smoothed it out.

Tell us about your next release.

I’m working on my second book now with about 60 pages of rough draft done. A minor character in Saving Yukon is the main character in my second book. It also is a journey to find purposes in life other than the obvious.

About the Author

A graduate of UCSC and UCSB, Navy brat Bryan Burnell majored in creative writing and English literature. After selling his successful office furniture business, which he ran for three decades, he started paying more attention to the story ideas that had accumulated in his mind over the years. Free time allowed him to finally bring life to his first book, Saving Yukon. This long-time Santa Barbara resident loves the meditative aspects of swimming, gardening, golf (despite his high handicap), and an occasional shot of good bourbon. He is married with two grown children and a spoiled Labradoodle named Nelli
