When I Became Who I Already Was Madeline has spent most of her life becoming whatever everyone else needed her to be. A dependable daughter. A devoted wife. A present mother. The woman who shows up, keeps the peace, carries the weight, and says I'm fine even when she isn't. Somewhere along the way, the girl who dreamed of writing books, designing clothes, exploring the world, and living without apology disappeared beneath years of criticism, rejection, expectations, and the quiet belief that if Madeline could just be better-smaller, stronger, more useful, less difficult-maybe she would finally be enough. By forty, she barely recognizes the woman staring back at her. Her marriage is breaking her down. Her body hurts. Her world is getting smaller, and the bedroom that once offered a place to rest is slowly becoming a place to hide from her own life. But buried beneath everything Madeline has been taught to believe about herself is the woman she used to know. And little by little, one choice at a time, she begins to find her again. When I Became Who I Already Was is an emotional story of self-discovery, healing, body image, motherhood, broken dreams, and learning that sometimes the most important person you will ever choose is yourself.

She just doesn't know what life has planned for her.

Surviving the end of the world was only the beginning. Shara and the others have spent years learning how to stay alive in a world overrun by the infected. They learned to sleep lightly, trust carefully, ration everything, and never assume that safety would last. Now, something is changing. The infected are weakening. Some are collapsing without explanation, and the force still connected to Shara seems to recognize a pattern it has yet to reveal. For the first time in years, the possibility exists that humanity's greatest threat may not last forever. But surviving a dying world and learning how to live in what comes after are two very different things. Back at the sanctuary, Shara, Randy, Marcus, Darius, and Lena begin doing something none of them expected to have the luxury of doing again: planning for a future. Gardens expand. Water systems are rebuilt. Permanent rooms replace temporary sleeping spaces. Slowly, a refuge created to keep the world out begins making room for other people. Then signs of another survivor appear beyond the boundary. As strangers become neighbors and survival gives way to community, Shara and the others must decide what parts of the old world are worth rebuilding-and what kind of world they want to create in its place. Because humanity doesn't just need to survive anymore. It needs to remember how to live. Calming the Wild is the second and final book in The Wild Duology, a post-apocalyptic story about survival, healing, found family, rebuilding, and the quiet courage it takes to hope again.

Camille believed her marriage was rooted in trust and love, but everything shifted the day Dean asked to open their relationship. His request was less a discussion and more an abrupt announcement, leaving Camille's sense of security fractured. Struggling between heartbreak and the instinct to salvage what remained, Camille reluctantly agrees. Beneath her composed surface, sadness lingers-a quiet ache that Dean seems oblivious to as he pursues new connections, assuming her loyalty is unwavering. Meanwhile, Camille starts rediscovering herself: she writes again, listens to her own long-ignored needs, and finds unexpected solace in the company of Elijah Grant, a widowed architect whose kindness and wisdom offer her a space to simply exist. Their bond grows slowly, marked by gentle understanding rather than drama. As Camille reclaims her voice and sense of self, she stops seeking answers from Dean and instead begins to craft a future centered on honesty and emotional peace. From a distance, Dean observes as Camille transforms, no longer seeking his approval but radiating newfound strength. When he attempts reconciliation, Camille is neither angry nor waiting; she has moved beyond the version of herself who depended on his validation. This is not a narrative of vengeance but one of letting go. It tells of a woman discovering her own worth and learning that she never needed to be chosen-she only needed to choose herself. A subtle exploration of heartbreak and reinvention, this story traces Camille's journey through betrayal toward self-acceptance and freedom.

There are some moments in life that seem completely ordinary while you're living them. A laugh at the dinner table. A familiar voice calling your name. A hand reaching for yours. A promise you believe without questioning. You don't stop to wonder if it will be the last time. Why would you? When Hannah looked back, she realised that her life had never fallen apart in one great, terrible moment. It had happened quietly. One decision at a time. One small compromise after another. One it's fine when it wasn't. One I'll deal with it later when later had already begun to disappear. She had loved people she thought would always love her. She had trusted people she thought she knew. And she had spent years trying to hold together things that perhaps were never hers to carry in the first place. If someone had told her then how everything would end, she wouldn't have believed them. She would have laughed. She would have defended the people she loved. She would have insisted they weren't capable of hurting her. Because that was the thing about being happy. You rarely question it while you have it. You only understand its value after you've lost it. Hannah closed her eyes. For the first time in years, she allowed herself to wonder- What if I had known? What if she had known which choices would change everything? What if she had known who would stay? Who would leave? Who would lie? Who would quietly pick up the pieces when she couldn't? What if she had known that some things could never be undone? And what if- just what if- she had been given the chance to live it all again? Hannah opened her eyes. The world around her was still. And somewhere, impossibly, a second beginning was waiting. This time... she knew.

It was something she had to build. So she did. Business after business. Plan after plan. Reinvention after reinvention.
