Debut Novel Out Now


Kelly is a party girl and self-described "hot mess." When her boyfriend, a rising drug boss named Tomaz, holds a gun to her head and accuses her of stealing $10 million, Kelly runs and calls her sister for help, like she always does.

Brianne is a respectable wife and non-profit entrepreneur, living her best life. When her sister calls, she has no choice but to go, like she always does.

But this is more than Kelly's typical "bad boyfriend / boss / roommate" drama. The two women find themselves running for more than their lives from a man as desperate as he is ruthless.

Kelly and Brianne know they can't run forever, but what choice do they have?

Feral Children tales is a new imprint, bringing to life voices that are authentic, gritty, and resonant.

We are pleased to present our first project, richard shaw’s “the sister.” We are honored he chose fct as a partner for his debut novel and we are confident you will enjoy this tale of betrayal, revenge, and survival.
