Floyd Henderson is, by his own admission, 'halved.' After 45 years of marriage, his beloved Marjorie is gone, taken too soon by cancer. With a torrential rain matching the storm of his grief, a dazed Floyd is forced to carry out the next step of their meticulously planned retirement: moving from their cherished countryside farmhouse to a city apartment they had chosen together. Leaving behind the world they built, Floyd struggles to find his footing in a singular life he never wanted. Wallowing in a fog of bourbon and emotional firestorms, he is determined to disappear amidst his desolate landscape of moving boxes. His only attempt to fill the void is Charlie, a sophisticated kit-built companion. As Floyd throws himself into the project of construction, Charlie quickly becomes his closest confidant-a quirky, stable presence to anchor him during his overwhelming grief. From the relentlessly cheerful superintendent and the watchful security guard, to his volatile neighbour Richard-an aspiring writer who expresses his frustration by routinely hurling his vintage typewriter into the communal backyard-Floyd is surrounded by a community that refuses to let him disappear. Floyd In Pieces is a powerful, witty, and moving novel of profound loss, a stubborn man's struggle for independence, and the awkward, messy, and unexpectedly hopeful truth that even when your world is shattered, sometimes the pieces-and the companions you build along the way-find a way to fit together again.

The story opens with Mara Ellison, a renowned crisis negotiator whose calm exterior masks an internal unraveling she refuses to name. She is dependable to a fault-anchoring everyone around her, even as she quietly struggles with burnout and unspoken doubts in her relationship with Lydia, her long-term partner. One night, Mara receives a frantic, half-coded voicemail from Rowan Hale, her childhood best friend who vanished months earlier while working on a controversial expose. He arrives at her apartment bloodied, paranoid, and clutching a hard drive he refuses to open yet. He insists that someone has been following him since he uncovered something "no one was supposed to see." Meanwhile, Lydia Chen, a brilliant surgeon who copes by compartmentalizing everything, encounters an ER patient whose neurological symptoms don't match anything known. Hospital administrators shut down her questions with unusual speed. Lydia senses she's being watched-and that Rowan's return is not a coincidence. Cassie Ellison, Mara's younger sister, is newly sober and trying to rebuild her life. She attempts to reconnect with Mara, but the appearance of Rowan-whom she secretly admires and resents-stirs her insecurity and suspicion. Still, Cassie notices details others miss: Rowan's erratic memory gaps, tremors, and flashes of aggression. The story's external antagonist emerges when Elias Ford, a revered tech magnate and philanthropist, is introduced. Publicly, he is charismatic and visionary. Privately, his corporation-Ford Dynamics-has begun quietly influencing hospitals, research labs, and media outlets. Rowan eventually trusts Mara enough to reveal the truth: He'd been investigating Ford's secret neurological research program, codenamed ONNIX, rumored to involve illegal cognitive experimentation. His footage is missing, his contacts have disappeared, and the hard drive is encrypted. He fears Ford wants him silenced.

"Poetry is the truest echo of emotion-less raw than the feeling itself, yet closer to it, than speech, prose or anything but silence" Stanzas of Heart is a collection of poems written in chaos, stained with tears of both joy and sorrow, and stitched together by love, loss, healing, hope-and everything in between. Most of these poems were born from memory, silence, and all the words I wanted to say but couldn't. If you've ever sat with your thoughts and felt them turn into words-words you could never say out loud-then this book is for you. I hope you'll like it.
