Welcome! I'm Haleigh, and if you've somehow ended up here, I apologize in advance for your emotional well-being.

When I'm not buried in college coursework, substitute teaching, or pretending I have my life together, I'm writing stories that will probably leave you questioning everyone's motives.

I write mysteries full of buried secrets, slow-burning tension, messy people, found family, plot twists, and emotional damage that sticks around long after the last chapter.

📚 **My Books**

🕸️ **The Silent Thread**
A dark mystery where buried secrets refuse to stay buried, and every answer uncovers an even bigger lie.

🩶 **The Fractured Thread**
The sequel where old wounds reopen, truths fracture, and the past comes back demanding to be heard.

📖 **The Weight We Carry**
A raw poetry collection about trauma, grief, healing, mental health, survival, and learning how to keep going.

⚠️ **Possible Side Effects**
• Reading "just one more chapter" until 3 AM.
• Becoming emotionally attached to fictional people.
• Trust issues.
• Staring at the wall after plot twists.
• Yelling at me in the comments.
• Demanding updates I also wish I had.

Updates whenever my brain decides to cooperate.

Welcome to the chaos. 🖤
