Beneath the Noise
Some wounds echo; some people stay long enough to soften the sound.
A novel by Klara Konvell
The Story
Between silence and peace
Paramedic Sunny Clark is built to withstand chaos—but one call fractures the control she's depended on to survive. As sleep disappears and violent memories bleed into the present, the distance between who she is and who she pretends to be begins to collapse. Holding it together becomes a daily act of endurance, and Sunny doesn't know how much longer she can hold on.
The last person she expects to witness her unraveling is her new neighbor, Will Harald—a man she never intended to let close. Forced to confront the truth she's spent years outrunning, Sunny learns that fake fortitude isn't heroic, healing isn't always gentle, and sometimes staying afloat requires letting someone see the damage.
Some days the job catches up to you like that. It doesn't ask permission; it just sneaks in, finds the softest parts of you, and sinks its teeth in.

About the Author
Klara Konvell
I'm a paramedic, EMS educator, and married mother of two, and my writing is shaped by years spent on the front lines of emergency medicine. I've responded to countless crises, mentored new providers, and navigated the challenges of being a woman in public safety—all experiences that have shown me how people break, heal, and hold on to one another.
This is my novel, but I plan to continue writing stories rooted in authenticity, resilience, and the emotional truth of life behind the sirens. My goal is to bring readers into a world I know intimately, capturing both its grit and its humanity.
