Shadows of Ourselves

In the shadow of a forgotten stream, a lonely maintenance worker at a crumbling mental hospital finds a red backpack—and a girl who shouldn’t exist.

She appears only at dusk, leaving liquor and sorrow by the water’s edge, borrowing books she’ll never return, speaking in riddles about lanterns, chains, and things that are “partially too late.” She calls herself Ana. She looks like the love he lost. She feels like the madness he’s always feared.

As winter deepens and the humming in his walls grows louder, he must decide: is she a ghost, a hallucination, or the last living spark of someone who was never meant to be saved? And if he reaches for her, will he pull her out of the dark—or drag himself in with her?

A haunting, atmospheric descent into grief, memory, and the fragile line between reality and delusion. For fans of psychological literary fiction, slow-burn mysteries, and stories that leave you staring at the shadows long after the last page.


A quiet, devastating novel about two broken people who briefly become each other’s mirror, each other’s anchor, and each other’s final chance to feel something before the silence swallows them both.

For readers of The Bell Jar, A Little Life, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation — a story that hurts because it feels true.

A Fallen Star

A Fallen Star: The Rise, Fall, and Heart of Rhys Gibbons

He had the voice that defined a generation. But for pop idol Rhys Gibbons, the roar of the crowd couldn’t drown out the storm within.

A Fallen Star doesn’t just trace his meteoric rise to fame; it unravels the tragic descent that followed—the private battles with addiction, the shattering public heartbreak, and the love lost with actress Vivian Headley.

The music died, but the story didn’t. Through the eyes of his heartbroken brothers, Rex, Ryan and Randy, and the one woman who understood his soul, this is a poignant exploration of family, grief, and the legacy of loss. It is a raw, emotional journey where the wreckage of regret meets the enduring, redemptive power of music and unbreakable fraternal bonds.

Ann Browne

The seamless process of presenting Ann’s life is uncanny yet becomes one of deep and personal involvement for the reader. This is a story of a strong lady who would hold anyone accountable and fight against any injustice she encountered. Racism and bigotry were very prevalent throughout our country during the eras that she lived.


During those eras, corrupt politicians were abundant, much like today, and Ann Browne would not tolerate their behavior.

The small towns presented are just a small example of ones experienced by the author throughout his life. Describing himself as a South Texas Country Boy, our writer brings the language and daily life into this well-written story without effort. Many of the “Boom and Bust” accounts written about were real, and the craziness that each created was very much experienced by our writer. The life story of this amazing lady is one of sadness, high living, and tragedy, which presents a stalwart personality of adventure and unconditional love.

The reader of Ann’s story will not forget or be left without an emotional attachment to her and her life story. Hide Long Description
