"A quaint town with secrets." 🗝️
The foundations of Cape Francois were built on something darker than stone and salt. I’ve been living in the shadows of this coastal town while writing my new cosmic horror series, Deep Within Fears: Cape Francois, and I think it’s finally time to let you all see what’s been watching from the corners.
Something is coming for the residents of the cape. Are you prepared to face it?
🚨 NEW CHAPTER ALERT 🚨
Chapter 5 is out, and we are officially entering the final countdown. One. More. Chapter. left to go! Go get into your feels with "Delicate Tulip" and let’s talk about it. ✍️✨
Snippet 👇:
I still remember the day the storm came,
how the rain flooded the streets.
How the dark clouds blocked the sun,
the bitter coldness that stayed.
When life changed and we started from scratch,
searching for a reason.
When the storm ended, we adapted
to a life of silence and loneliness.
We have forgotten how to love,
how to show compassion,
how to be understanding—
and most importantly,
we have forgotten what life was
before the storm.
Something is surfacing in Cape Francois. 🌊🕯️
The tide is pulling back, and it’s revealing the secrets this town has tried so hard to bury. I’ve been living in the shadows of this story for a while now, and I’m finally ready to invite you into the mist.
Deep Within Fears: Cape Francois — a slow-burn descent into the coastal dark.
Keep your eyes on the shoreline. It won’t be long now.
Frost is finally retreating, but foundation remains. Even in cold, something fragile begins to bloom—a quiet reminder of how love persists. 🪴
Chapter 5: Delicate Tulip arrives this Monday. A look at love we cultivate and beauty that survives.
Snippet:
When the permafrost came,
the world went cold—frozen
in place; you and I were
affected in ways our lives were not ready for.
Stay tuned. 🌑
Cape Francois doesn’t give up its secrets easily. Are you ready to see what’s buried beneath the surface?
"Due anime destinate a ritrovarsi."
Deep in the weeds of Chapter 5, I keep coming back to this image. There is such a quiet, inevitable grace in finding the person who makes the world feel like home. Writing is a slow restoration, but it’s becoming my favorite garden to tend. 🌿
Snippet 🌷👇:
Who knew we would go from
when can I see you again
To I'll see you tonight.
All the nights where I could feel your arms around me
despite the distance apart.
The sound of your heart drowning out the noise of the city.
Did you know before I did?
That we would be a story of love and resilience.
the reflection reveals what the dark sky hides.
a new chapter begins.
New chapter is live. 🌿 I feel like I’ve been living in a dream lately, working on these final pieces. Only two chapters left until this story is complete. 📖✨
Tomorrow: New chapter.
My sanity: TBD.
Your reading list: Hope you’re ready. 🥀🖋️
Snippet 😱:
“Faced with the ruins of a
place he once called home,
overlooking his land with a violet-
colored lens—
refusing to see the truth, his garden
scorched, trampled, and hollow.
Every inch of what he built tarnished
by the weight of cursed blood.
Haunted by the truth, all he sees
is a vibrant, flourishing garden.”

The garden is buzzing. 🐝✨
There is something about the way growth happens—quietly, stubbornly, even when the world feels cold. The next chapter of To Regrow a Garden: Notes on Finding Yourself drops this Monday. I’m ready to share what’s been blooming.
“Somewhere deep within these
hollowed grounds:
A child,
A puppet,
Now a nameless king exists”
Writing a masterpiece or just fighting for my life? 😅✍️
I’m currently tucked away with these beautiful pagoda lanterns, deep in the absolute chaos of writing the final 3 poems for Chapter 4 of To Regrow a Garden. 🖤💀
This chapter has been a total journey. It’s heavy, it’s raw, and it’s finally time to close this door and move toward the light. 🥀
A little sneak peek at the current mood:
“Its whispers gave way for the child
To don a new, jagged crown.
A trumpet sounded from the northeast,”
Stay tuned—the drop is coming soon. And if anyone needs me, I’ll be over here buried in my notes until this is done. ☕️✨
The labyrinth doesn't always lead where you expect.
Chapter 3 of To Regrow a Garden: Notes on Finding Yourself is live. This one felt like trying to reach a destination that keeps shifting underfoot—that specific frustration of wanting to move forward while the world feels like it's holding you back.
I’m still finding my way through it. You can read it here:
"Sometimes, to find yourself, you have to tear everything down to the foundation." 🏛️🌿 To Regrow a Garden: Notes on Finding Yourself is a co
The Architecture of Armor: Notes on Chapter 3
The final rose has fallen to the frozen lands. 🌹❄️
Tomorrow, Chapter 3 of To Regrow a Garden: Notes on Finding Yourself releases in its entirety on Wattpad.
I’m going to be completely honest with you all—this is the heaviest, most raw piece of the journey yet. If you have been following the narrator through the early pockets of warmth, the found family, and the butterfly-inducing rush of finding love in a quiet library, I need to give you a gentle heads-up: the frost is about to set in.
Chapter 3 is a systematic dismantling of safety. It tracks the exact moments the sanctuary shatters, the domestic anchors fail, and the innocence fades under a heavy winter of betrayal.
But it doesn’t leave you in the dark.
By splitting the climax poem, Mors Innocentiae, into two distinct parts, we pull the lens back to see the psychological aftermath. When innocence is executed, something else has to stand up in its place to keep the body breathing.
Becoming a calculated monster
to protect what was left
of its light,
hidden under layers of names
and memories that were given.
The "calculated monster" isn't a villain—it's the armor. The child died so that the survivor could live.
⚠️ Please Note: Because of the deeply visceral and honest exploration of family trauma, substance abuse, and implicit childhood abuse, this book has officially been changed to a Mature (18+) rating. If you carry similar shadows, please prioritize your well-being and take care of your heart while reading.
Link to the book is in my bio. See you tomorrow.

“We understood each other
In ways only blood would:
The “secrets we shared.”
The quiet weight of shared history. The things we carry so no one else has to.
A tiny glimpse into the next chapter of To Regrow a Garden: Notes on Finding Yourself, dropping in exactly three days.

🎭 The Cost of the Illusion.
"My heart could not bear this masquerade,
despite the pain it brought to us.
I could not allow the strings to reattach."
4 days until Chapter 3.
This chapter is the turning point. It’s about the exact moment you refuse to keep playing a part in a story that isn't yours anymore. No more pretending, no more performing, and absolutely no going back to the way things used to be—even when cutting those ties changes everything.
The stage is set. 🌿
5 days until Chapter 3. 🌿
In all the pain and chaos,
there was a guiding light.
A glimpse of love—
proof I wasn't always unloved.
A tiny fragment of what’s to come this Monday.
