Reyna Voss has helped forty-seven couples end their marriages. She is thirty-two years old, the youngest partner in her firm's family law division, and she is very good at her job. She knows the language of endings - how to calculate the fair split, how to protect the children, how to make the dissolution of a shared life look clean on paper even when it never is in practice. What she has never told her colleagues, her clients, or her mother: her own marriage has been quietly disintegrating for at least a year. Maybe two. She is not sure anymore, because she has been too busy drafting other people's exits to notice the cracks forming in her own foundation. When her husband Eli tells her, on a Tuesday evening in their kitchen, that he has been seeing someone - and that the someone is her colleague - Reyna does not cry. She opens a legal notepad. She starts calculating. The grief comes six weeks later. In a parking lot. Without any warning at all. After the Verdict is the story of a woman who was trained to help people survive the collapse of love - and who has to figure out, entirely without training, how to survive her own.

Across golden hour and blue hour, a dancer and a photographer fall in love through the lens - only to discover that every act of seeing is also an act of losing.

What She Left in the Dark is a deeply emotional story about quiet loneliness, almost-love, grief that settles into the walls of a home, and a husband who realizes too late that being a good man is not always the same thing as being a good husband.

Featuring princes in disguise, magic, and more mystery than Clara could've ever imagined, the path to the answers she seeks is twisted and turning, as she discovers the truth about the faerie tales she thought she knew as well as the truth about herself. ------ A fairy tale story and the final rough draft of the story, once called Glass Slippers.

The Dreamer awakes, the shadow goes by; the tale I have told you, that tale is a lie...

A Carnival of Small Apocalypses These are poems for the hours after midnight, when the neon hums louder than reason and the world briefly forgets how to pretend. Inside these pages, goldfish learn theology from television screens. Ghosts linger in diners. Prophets miss their exits. Machines dream of salvation. The faithful wrestle with doubt, the doubtful wrestle with faith, and ordinary people carry the quiet weight of living through strange times. Part witness, part confession, part roadside sermon, these free verse spoken-word poems wander through forgotten towns, crowded headlines, broken promises, flickering screens, and the stubborn mysteries that refuse to leave us alone. Some are angry. Some are mournful. Some laugh in places they probably shouldn't. Together they form a carnival of small endings and unexpected beginnings-a collection of voices searching for meaning beneath neon skies, beneath static, beneath the noise. Step right up. The lights are already flickering. The ride has already begun.

TARTARUS A Road Novel About the Hell We Carry Inside He bought a ticket to Nowhere. That was all. A tired station at 2:30 in the morning. One working ticket window. Damp asphalt. Cheap perfume. People hugging each other before the road took them away. Then he stepped onto the bus. The driver looked like a man who had seen too much of humanity and kept driving anyway. The route made no sense. The road kept changing. Passengers disappeared. Memories became places. Old guilt boarded without asking. And somewhere between rain, silence, bad coffee, strange stops, and a destination no one could explain, he began to understand the worst truth of all: Tartarus was not waiting at the end of the road. He had been carrying it inside himself for years. Darkly funny, strange, and painfully human, TARTARUS is an existential road novel about guilt, escape, self-deception, and the moment a man finally stops running from his own life.
