print edition release – Faith & Reason

The journey to bring Mourning Ellyn into the world is nearly complete. After months of writing, revising, restructuring, and rediscovering the emotional heart of this story, I’m excited to announce that the Kindle and Print Editions will officially launch on February 28, 2026.

This novel has grown into something deeper and more resonant than I first imagined — a story about grief, connection, redemption, and the quiet ways love continues even after loss.

Below is a full summary for readers who want to understand the heart of the book before launch.

Story Summary

Jaymes Sprague’s life shatters in an instant when his wife, Ellyn, dies unexpectedly. Only days after her passing, he finds himself slipping back into old destructive habits — the very ones he fought so hard to overcome. Grief becomes a storm he can’t outrun, and the world around him feels dimmer, heavier, and unbearably quiet.

But Jaymes isn’t as alone as he believes.

As detectives investigate the circumstances surrounding Ellyn’s death, Jaymes begins to sense her presence in the quiet spaces of his life — in memory, in intuition, in the pulse of something beyond the veil. Her love lingers, urging him forward even as he struggles to stand.

Everything changes when Jaymes finally realizes Ellyn is there, in the pulse, guiding him, anchoring him. Jaymes is forced to confront the man he became… and the man he still has the chance to be.

With the help of two detectives — Shania, steady and intuitive, and Chandler, a man quietly unraveling under the weight of his own ghosts — Jaymes begins to uncover the truth behind Ellyn’s final moments. What he finds is not just closure, but a path toward healing, forgiveness, and rediscovery.

Mourning Ellyn is a story about the fragile beauty of second chances, the power of family, and the enduring presence of love that refuses to fade — even beyond the grave.

Thank you for your support as this story finds its way into the world. This book is deeply personal, and I’m grateful to share it with you.

More updates soon.

Every story has a season. Some arrive quietly, shaping us in ways we don’t fully understand until years later. Others burn their way into existence, demanding to be told. Over the past several months, I’ve been revisiting two stories that have shaped my own creative journey in profound ways — Mourning Ellyn and Lost Girls: Eden’s Descent.

Both books are returning in March 2026, each with a renewed vision, expanded depth, and a clearer sense of the worlds they belong to. These new editions come as a result of endless reflections and conversations with fellow writers and readers who have connected with these narratives. The process of revisiting these works has been cathartic; it has allowed me to recognize the layers of meaning embedded within the characters and their journeys.

In Mourning Ellyn, readers can expect an enriched portrayal of loss and resilience. The protagonist’s struggles will resonate even more deeply as I explore the various facets of grief and healing through her eyes. We will delve into the nuances of her relationships and how they are intertwined with her quest for understanding and acceptance.

Similarly, Lost Girls: Eden’s Descent will unveil a more expansive universe filled with complex characters and richly woven plots. The vibrant landscapes that serve as a backdrop for their adventures will be more fleshed out, drawing readers into an immersive experience. I aim to deepen the exploration of the themes of identity and empowerment that run throughout the narrative.

Today, I want to share a glimpse into what’s coming. Expect fresh insights, new characters, and enhanced storytelling that remains true to the core messages these stories convey. I am excited to bring these reimagined tales to life, inviting both loyal fans and new readers to join me on this journey. These tales are not merely sequels; they are reawakening moments, offering a chance to swim deeper into the currents of emotion and revelation that each character embodies. As the release date approaches, I look forward to sharing more about the journey of transformation these books have undergone.
