✨ Author Spotlight: J.D. Vaile

At yearnmorebooks.com, we’re proud to highlight voices that explore the edges of human experience. This month, our spotlight shines on J.D. Vaile, a writer whose work dives deep into the invisible architecture of the human mind.

 

🖋️ About the Author
J.D. Vaile writes fiction that examines how people think, break, endure, and disappear. With a fascination for psychology and emotional perception, Vaile’s stories focus on memory, disconnection, and the quiet moments where everything shifts. Blending surrealism with intimacy, her work makes the inner world as vivid as the outer one.

 

📖 Debut Novel – When the Creatures Come

A novel about what remains when everything else disappears.
They come after the silences. After the leaving. After something breaks.
In a city that seems to vanish in fragments, a group of people struggles to hold onto meaning, connection, and memory. There’s X, whose presence marks turning points no one can quite explain. Agaïs, who waits for something she can’t name. Meli, who mistakes control for strength. Sogi, who can’t escape the pull of violence. And others, each adrift in their own collapsing inner worlds.
As time unravels and places fade, the real question isn’t what the creatures are—but what they leave behind.
Told in a series of interwoven voices, When the Creatures Come is a haunting, intimate novel about emotional survival, the impossibility of change, and the strange beauty of what’s already been lost.

 

🌍 Life & Inspiration
Living between cities and time zones, Vaile draws inspiration from long walks, shifting geographies, and the enduring mystery of how we navigate memory and identity.
