Love and the Phantom Queen of Suburbia
Completed. Highest Hot List Rankings: 1 in Wellness 3 in Autobiography 3 in Memoir 5 in Gratitude Excerpt from To the Lady Who Leaves Me Starry-Eyed: I still fear falling in love again...Love has a way of distorting everything, for better and for worse, like a Hall of Mirrors. I remind myself you'd be there to help me see true, just like the Dungeons and Dragons character of mine who gained True Sight during one of your homebrew campaigns. Her luminous eyes, dark and deep, swim with sparkling pinpoint stars. These letters and reflective essays examine the formative experiences and relationships I have had, dating back to about the age of 15 or 16 and working their way onward (but not in chronological order). Some detail connections I made as a late teen/adult. A few occurred in childhood, proper. You can pick up a Kindle or paperback edition, with exclusive chapters, on Amazon. There is Wattpad-exclusive content here, as well, so it's a benefit to check it out on both sites.Complete

This is not a perfect story-it's messy, full of half-finished thoughts, mistakes, and moments I wish I could forget. It's the laughter, the heartbreak, the silent nights, and the words I never said out loud. Some pages will feel like home. Others might hurt. But this is me-unfiltered, unapologetic, and real. This is My Diary of Life. 2nd Edition: The Things I Couldn't Say Out LoudComplete
