New Book Release – Faith & Reason

Today I finally get to share something I’ve been working toward for a long time: the official cover reveals for Mourning Ellyn. This story has lived with me for years—through drafts, rewrites, and the quiet hours where Jaymes and Ellyn’s world kept tugging at me to finish what I started. Seeing the cover come together feels like watching the emotional heart of the book step into the light.

The artwork captures the soul of the story: grief, love, memory, and the fragile hope that rises even in the darkest places. Jaymes sits in the rain, surrounded by the weight of loss, embodying the struggle that many face when confronted with the grief of losing someone dear. His expression conveys a depth of emotion that resonates with anyone who has experienced similar heartache, reminding us of the complexities of love that often-come hand in hand with sorrow.

Ellyn lingers in the shadows of the back cover—present, watching, guiding. Her role as a soothing presence, even in absence, symbolizes the enduring impact of relationships that persist despite physical distance. The cover design serves as a poignant visual echo of the journey they share across the pages, highlighting the intertwining of their lives and the lessons learned through their shared experiences.

This reveal is not just a moment of pride for me as the author, but also a celebration of the story itself and the themes that it embodies. I hope that when readers see the cover, they feel a connection to the journey before them, one that is deeply layered and reflective of the human experience. It is my wish that Mourning Ellyn resonates as much with you as it has with me throughout this creative process. Your support means everything, and I can’t wait for you to join Jaymes and Ellyn on this emotional expedition.

Instead of watching the ball drop. Why not curl up with a good book. And not any type of book – a hardboiled detective novel where the mystery unravels and keeps you turning the page.

My new novel, Don’t Kiss Me Goodbye, drops on December 31, 2025. Perfect for the New Year. A perfect antidote to the holiday cheer. If you’re looking for grit, rain-slicked city streets, and a P.I who refuses to stay down. This book is for you to start your year off right.

I’m not the thief. I’m the one trying to pull you out of the wreckage
