[ransomlettersketchbook]

Your mother raised you to bite your tongue when a man talks to you disrespectfully. Fear in your eyes when you can’t figure out if he’s grabbing for a weapon in his pocket or if he’s just genuinely nervous. The older you get the more horror stories you hear of girls your age falling from grace. Gorgeous smiles and bright eyes turn dim. Loud and adventurous turns to timid and rough around the edges. 
Your father taught you that men are weak. They prey on the idea of power through manipulation. An unrealistic approach to seem like they are in control.

(Available, June 2016) You wrote letters in your head as soon as they walked out the door. These were the letters you couldn’t work up the nerve to send. Return to Sender is sending it out. You have broken the letters into three sections:

“Dear John”: A series of letters from a woman to a man terminating their relationship.

“Letters To Misha”: A series of letters through the five stages of grief after a friend’s suicide.

“Missed Connections”: A series of letters that act as a personal account of two strangers meeting in NYC.

Each letter acting as a personal reflection on how easily a person can come into and out of your life without you ever having the chance to share with them how much they changed you.

UPDATE: You can officially buy it on amazon now: softcover: x hardcover: x
