Hey everyone,
I’ve been quiet for a while — and there’s a reason. I’ve been working on something darker, more personal, and more important than anything I’ve written before.
SIXTEEN NOT SEXTEEN is my second novel, and it’s not just a story. It’s based on a true story — and some parts are disturbing. They’re not meant to be comfortable. They’re meant to be real. This is the kind of truth people often hide, ignore, or try not to see.
This book is raw. It’s emotional. It’s about vulnerability, betrayal, manipulation, and the strength it takes to survive something that should never happen. It won’t be easy to read — but it is honest. And I believe it’s important.
I wrote this for the voices that have been silenced, for the stories that go unnoticed, and for anyone who needs to see that survival takes courage. Zephyra Jane’s story is meant to be felt, not skimmed.
This is just an announcement! I will start posting chapters of this book after the completion of my debut novel, ALESSIA MY SWEETHEART. Thank you for your patience, support, and love — it means everything.
Please read with care. And know this: if any part of this feels familiar, you are not alone.
