They heard the news-the war was over. Some rejoiced, some mourned, and others quietly packed what they could carry and turned toward an uncertain future in the north.
Loyalist Echoes of 1783 is a powerful genealogical anthology rooted in the moment peace was declared at the end of the American Revolution. From forgotten graves in Kingston to vanished farms in New York, this book resurrects the men and women who experienced the end of the war firsthand-Loyalists, neutrals, and quietly entangled families torn across battle lines.
Each entry begins with a vivid historical vignette, bringing these real individuals to life in the moment they might have received the news of peace. What did they feel? Who did they lose? Where did they go next? Then comes the creative handoff: a section for writers and genealogists that reimagines each person's life as a spark for fiction. You'll find brief family trees, context for research, and narrative guidance to continue telling their story.
This book is for anyone who hears echoes when reading old names in faded ledgers. It's a love letter to Canadian roots, Loyalist resilience, and the stories waiting to be told.

Fate or Coincidence
This is a deeply personal, memoir-style journey through love, trauma, and resilience. Told through the raw and reflective voice of the writer, the story traces her relationship with K-a boy who entered her life during one of its darkest chapters. What begins as a quiet love formed in the shadows of grief soon becomes a lifeline, a bond that offers hope in the face of abandonment, violence, and heartbreak. But love alone is not enough to heal all wounds. As time passes, silence grows, promises break, and the author is left to pick up the shattered pieces of herself. Set against a backdrop of family conflict, emotional scars, and a search for identity, this is not just a story about first love lost-it's about survival. It's about the courage to walk away, the strength to heal, and the quiet power of finally choosing yourself.Completa

What My Mother Forgot
Before reading this, you should know... This is not a happy story. There is no happy ending. Simply put, this is a chronological account of the abuse, neglect, and bullying I suffered at the hands of loved ones from birth to 17 years old. It does not include reflection. It is meant to be a recounting from my perspective at the time. When you read content from Birth to around 11 years old, it is intended to sound like a young child is telling the story, versus those written about events that occurred when I was older. Before embarking on writing this, I considered how honest I wanted to be and what details I truly wanted and needed to share. Ultimately, I chose to publish these things anonymously. I've taken some responsibility for hiding the identities of those I wrote about, but I did not protect them nearly as much as I protected myself. Over the years, I've kept these stories secret because I love these people who hurt me. I believed I was loving them by not telling. But now that I'm an adult, and I understand love a little better, I realized that while I may have been making someone feel safe, I was not keeping myself safe.Completa
Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Completa
