Rivers's debut novella, Forging a Phoenix, tells the story of a talented young woman who, after a near-fatal accident, is left swimming upstream against her fears and her foes. When the world holds her under water for too long, she creates dream-like visions to escape and breathe. Rivers blends literary fiction with poetry while creating a vivid fantasy world for the reader, full of stunning visuals and palpable fears.
