WELCOME!
Hello, Dear Reader. Welcome to Adam Wing’s writing page!
I (Wing) am a life-long fiction writer and student of writing. Though I’ve spent decades honing my craft, I only published my first work a few years ago. I’m immensely proud of my first novel, ICARUS, which has found some small popularity in online circles. I’ve since released a macabre short story anthology called APOCA LYPSE SINK SHIPS and modern meta-fairytale, MATRIARCH. (Click on the titles for details.) Also check out my writing blog, Dog-Eared Corner, where I go into deep dives on process, theory, tips, and whatever else I can think of from my own story-telling experience.

FEATURED WORK
MATRIARCH
Matriarch offers an unexpected, genre-defying narrative that redefines itself, almost with every chapter. Reviews of the book have been overwhelmingly positive, and nearly all of them seem to have one phrase in common: “I didn’t see that coming!”
The story follows a British soldier in 1923, making his way through Turkey after the Turkish War of Independence. And it follows his great-granddaughter, one-hundred years later, on what may be the most difficult life of her life.
There’s more to this story than either of them could possibly fathom.
Icarus is my first novel. It's not inspired by the myth, not a re-imagining, but a period-true retelling of the original story (give-or-take a century or three). I strove in it, to give soul to characters we tend to think of in terms of marble statues and baroque renaissance paintings, give life to a story we regard as parable—practically a nursery-rhyme! My hope was to tell the story as it was meant to be told, and to break your damn heart, doing it. And if Goodreads is any indication, I succeeded!
In the spirit of the myth, all royalties on the first 10,000 books will go to assist displaced families seeking safety. Hopefully, we can prevent endings in the real world, as tragic as the story's. Alternatively, if you scroll down and subscribe to this site you'll get a FREE eBook copy of the novel! And for every hundred subscribers, I'll donate an additional $5. So far donations have gone to Rohingya refugees (BRAC), asylum seekers separated at the US/Mexico border (GoFundMe) and victims of the 2017 Mexican Earthquake (Direct Relief).
