Elijah thought he knew grief-but losing his little sister and watching his mother walk away without a word shatters everything. Held back in his senior year and forced to grow up fast, he becomes someone no one recognizes.
Summer jobs, long hours at a mechanic shop, and quiet nights with his father define his new reality. He must survive, adapt, and hold himself together-but at what cost to his heart, his family, and the boy he once was?
Shards of Elijah is a slow-burn, emotional story of loss, resilience, and the journey to reclaiming life when the pieces you hold are all that remain.

WHAT WE SURVIVED
What We Survived Some love stories don't break loudly. They fracture quietly-through silence, guilt, misunderstandings, and the things left unsaid. Mara thought walking away would save her. Caleb thought loving her harder would fix everything. An accident changes the course of their lives. A betrayal forces the truth into the open. A baby arrives when nothing feels certain. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about broken vows, hospital corridors, therapy rooms, and the slow, painful work of choosing each other again. About guilt that lives in the body. About forgiveness that doesn't come easily. About love that survives-not because it's simple, but because it refuses to die. What We Survived is a raw, emotional slow-burn about marriage, loss, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to stay.Complete

A Castle in the sky
Quick note for my readers before you start this story. It is going to be taken off and sent off to the editor on the 13th of December 2025. Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For four years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way. But when her husband's negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage. Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise. And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask- What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?Complete
