Wire Wings is a novel about the nature of grief and identity in a world where everything is changeable.
Graciela Neumann does as she’s told. She cowers beneath the towering intellect of her parents, goes to school, toes the line. Except when she’s connected to the virtual reality world that gives every teenager what we can only imagine—to be completely free. In the Waves, Graciela can be anyone, anywhere, anywhen.
And in the real world, Graciela is drowning. Her best friend recently passed away, she’s suffering from crippling panic attacks, and her only connection to life is Khaiam, who keeps trying to draw her back to reality.
But how can he compete with the Waves? There, she can shed her identity and recreate it however she wants. And in that world there’s Thomas, the stunning stranger she’s only ever met online, the boy with the deep, sad eyes and beautiful laugh. Thomas seems to be able to defy the rules of the Waves, and he holds secrets of his own—about the origins of his creation, about the nature of AI, and about Gracie’s own past.

“Every so often in the media industry.. you come across a creator so special that you know they could be the ‘next big thing.’ …Wren Handman is one of them. I had a feeling about her when I read a novel she released called ‘In Restless Dreams.’ There is a subtlety to her writing that beautifully distracts with one hand while leading with the other and in that.. ‘Wire Wings’, which is slated to release on June 23rd, 2020.. is no exception.. but it is extraordinary in every other way.” – The Inkslinger
“The story is an emotional roller-coaster, not foreign to anyone who’s been a teenager. And even though it’s been a decade since I last called myself a teen, the book touches you in all the right spots.” – Maria, Goodreads
“WIRE WINGS is equal parts exciting and colourful as well as heartbreaking and tragic. There is such beauty in the prose, mirrored in all the worlds we flit in and out of, but that ache of loss and devastation is never truly gone and resonates both viscerally and also subtlely throughout.” – A Take From Two Cities
