Mercy Strained is a story about a woman’s journey through a hell beyond normal understanding.
Taken as a child and abused, she escapes her captors and finds her way into the military to learn the skills to exact her revenge. Only after her epic stalk does she realize that love has meaning.
As an author, you must abandon all and walk in the footsteps of your character. It is not a style choice but a demand from deep with the heart of the muse driving the adventure. At the end of the tale, there is that ‘aha moment’ that tells you the story is done. Placing down the pen, I felt torn and lost. This emotional journey crushed down upon my soul, demanding more.
Feeble attempts at poetry led me to seek out and find the necessary talent to bring this emotional journey to song.
It is in the deep, rich sound of Kameryn that the wail of Sherry’s pain, the throbbing march of her mission, and the final question of love come to life and satisfy this author’s ‘aha moment.’
I hope you will listen and find the heart of Sherry’s journey in these three songs.
