*Thirteen, With No Goodbye* is a raw and unflinching exploration of loss, resilience, and the haunting echoes of grief that stretch across a lifetime. At just 10 years old, I stood in the shadow of a devastating truth: my mother had breast cancer. In the pages of this book, I open the doors to my deepest memories, revealing the trauma of that moment and the years that followed. Through vivid recollections, I take you through the moments I never wanted to remember, the pain I tried to bury, and the confusion of losing my mother at the tender age of 13, in 7th grade, when life felt as though it was just beginning to unfold. Her battle with cancer was not just hers; it became mine, and the lives of my seven sisters who were left behind to pick up the shattered pieces of a family we didn't know how to rebuild. This is not just the story of my mother's illness or her death. It is the story of how I learned to carry a grief that never truly left me, how I struggled to find my place in a world that felt colder, emptier, and more uncertain without her. Even at 29 years old, the weight of that trauma remains-woven into the fabric of my life in ways I never imagined. The grief still lingers, and the scars still ache. In *Thirteen, With No Goodbye*, I delve deep into the psychological and emotional aftermath of growing up with the specter of loss. I recount how my mother's death changed me forever, how it reshaped my understanding of love, family, and identity. This is a journey of healing and remembering-of facing the wounds that remain open and tender, even all these years later. Through these pages, I hope to connect with others who have experienced similar pain, to remind them that they are not alone in the struggle to move forward while still carrying the weight of what was lost. My mother may be gone, but her memory lives on in every word, every tear, every part of me that still carries her love-and in that, there is hope.

Abaddon was made to destroy. She chose to create. For millennia, Abaddon has hidden her art in the shadows of Hell. While her siblings embrace war, she has built a family in secret, protecting those who also dream of something more. Now she stands before the Gods and asks the impossible: a world where her people can live without fear. But the Gods are divided. Hell is watching. And the madness that created her has not forgotten that she dared to defy it. 'I looked at what I was made for, and I decided it was not enough.' - Abaddon.

It started in 2008 with the death of my grandmother: every subsequent year came with at least one death. Most people write letters to the living. I, on the other hand? I write letters to the dead.

"Letters You'll Never Read" (Working Title) is an intimate, structurally unique nonfiction collection that bridges the gap between our present reality and the ghosts of our past. Through raw, uncompromisingly honest pages, this project explores the universal landscape of grief, healing, and human connection. These letters move from traditional heartbreaks-such as letters to a parent who passed away-to the complicated, ambiguous grief of severed relationships. The collection features unvarnished communication to living individuals whom the author is entirely no-contact with, exploring the unique pain of mourning someone who is still alive. Balancing these personal reckonings are poignant entries to public figures, examining how cultural loss intertwines with private mourning. What separates this work from traditional memoirs is its immersive, voyeuristic format. By framing each chapter as a direct letter, readers step into a private room of thoughts, finding solace through solidarity. Steering clear of clinical language or forced positivity, this manuscript targets the evergreen memoir and grief-recovery market, appealing to readers of Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" and Cheryl Strayed's "Tiny Beautiful Things". It provides comfort, companionship, and a roadmap for anyone navigating the quiet aftershocks of loss. //alt. title "Letters Unread" RANKINGS #26 in Prose - 8/7/26 #60 in Letters - 8/7/26 MY ARTISTS Title Headers: @Jaygrfx7 Others: Self © 2016-26

~A child prophesied to change the world is cursed and misplaced, amidst centuries of a secret battle between good and evil among humans and creatures alike.~ At the end of summer in the year 2000, best friends Alice and Anna find themselves in more trouble than they could imagine as teenage girls. Unbeknownst to the curse given to Alice upon being born thousands of years ago to hide her identity before she is transported through time and placed among humans. Despite her parents' best efforts to keep Alice safe, she inevitably crosses paths with danger when she and Anna are attacked by bloodsuckers, resulting in Alice's first time transforming into a banshee. Kane, who's searching for a blood source powerful enough to create hybrids, is the ruthless king of a dying breed that has been mostly wiped out by the slayers, and Alice, whose true identity is masked by a curse, is the key to everything. Once Kane, hears about Alice's secret, he's determined to capture her and use her blood to create unstoppable hybrids. He orders a second attack, not expecting Tate, a newly transferred student at Hawthorne High, to interfere. When the girls decide to skip the rest of the first day back, they're attacked in the woods behind their school. Anna is kidnapped after being mistaken for Alice, as a result of Tate's interference, and inevitably falls for Prince Alexander, brother of Kane. While their relationship blossomed, so did Alice and Tate's as she grieved the loss of her friend she assumed was dead until anonymously receiving photos of Anna being held prisoner. This newfound power of hers, along with the unbreakable bond she shares with Anna, simply wouldn't allow her to run away and hide. She was not about to go down without a fight. With the help of Tate and his reluctant grandmother, both descendants of a bloodline of pure-blood witches, Alice is determined to save Anna from the clutches of the bloodsuckers. Even if it means she must sacrifice herself or take Anna's place.
