Two Stories Reborn: Announcing the Updated Editions of Mourning Ellyn and Lost Girls: Eden’s Descent

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.

When the News Starts Reading Like Noir

Seattle just halted arrests for open‑air drug use. Critics call it “suicidal empathy,” arguing that such a policy encourages rather than alleviates the ongoing crisis. Supporters champion it as a form of compassion that acknowledges the complex struggles faced by those battling addiction. But anyone walking the streets knows something deeper is happening—something darker, older, and harder to name. As vulnerable individuals grapple with their realities in plain sight, it becomes increasingly evident that the city is caught in a web of systemic failures, where emergency interventions feel inadequate and societal stigma looms large. When the headlines start sounding like a detective novel, filled with tragedy and unanswered questions, you have to ask: What kind of story are we living in? Are we witnessing a desperate plea for help slipping between the cracks of policy and public indifference?
