The Unforgotten Collection brings together haunting stories about memory, identity, loss, and the truths that refuse to remain buried. Across generations, worlds, and histories, these novels explore what happens when lives are erased, stories are silenced, and the past reaches forward into the present. Some characters seek justice, others search for belonging, and still others struggle simply to preserve what remains. At the heart of them all is the same enduring question: What do we owe the people, stories, and possibilities that came before us—and what happens when we choose to remember?

HISTORICAL FICTION

The Voices We Carry is a haunting, multigenerational story about how messy, imperfect, human truth, can heal what silence has broken. Carmen returns to her mother’s house in Key West after decades of running, emotionally numb, estranged from her daughter, abandoning her writing. She plans to sell the inherited home to developers. But as she sorts through her mother’s archives, the spirits of six ancestors begin appearing on the porch, each demanding to be witnessed and remembered. Through their stories spanning 160 years—from a Bahamian immigrant to an institutionalized grandmother—Carmen recognizes herself: her numbness, her distance, her silence are inherited trauma, passed down through generations as survival mechanisms that protect no one. When a hurricane forces a reckoning between past and present, Carmen makes a choice: break the family’s pattern of silence or let it destroy the next generation.

The Storyteller of Lostmans River explores how identity is constructed, how survival demands reinvention, and whether truth matters when a life has been lived authentically, impossibly, unforgettably. A story that is a meditation on the nature of history itself.

Coming in 2027.

Some men are impossible to know—and Richard Edward Hamilton was one of them.

Born enslaved in 1840s Georgia, Richard spent over a century reinventing himself across the American frontier, leaving behind a trail of contradictory stories that historians still cannot untangle. Was he the son of a plantation owner or a man who invented that claim? Did he serve as a decorated soldier or commit pension fraud? Was he a devoted family man or a bigamist who abandoned his first wife? The answer, it seems, depends on who was asking—and what Richard needed them to believe.

The Storyteller of Lostmans River follows Richard’s impossible life through two intertwined timelines. In 1932, journalist Frances Marsh arrives in Florida’s remote Ten Thousand Islands to interview the legendary centenarian for a Federal Writers’ Project. As Richard spins increasingly contradictory tales of his past, Frances discovers evidence that undermines nearly every claim he makes. Yet the more she investigates, the more she realizes that Richard’s unreliability isn’t a flaw in his story—it is the story.

Through Frances’ growing skepticism and Richard’s shifting accounts, this novel explores how identity is constructed, how survival demands reinvention, and whether truth matters when a life has been lived as authentically as Richard lived his—constantly, impossibly, unforgettably. In the Everglades’ shifting waters and hidden channels, one man’s refusal to be defined becomes a meditation on the nature of history itself.

A novel about a man who was everything and nothing. A story about stories. A life that refuses to be pinned down.

Graveyard Creek is ultimately about how families preserve truth and memory in the absence of resolution, how precision and love persist even when certainty remains forever elusive, and what it means to carry an unsolved mystery across generations.

Coming in 2027.

Graveyard Creek is a multigenerational mystery spanning 1932 to 1949 and beyond, set in the remote Ten Thousand Islands of southwest Florida.

In January 1932, William Joseph “Buddy” Hamilton Sr.—a brilliant, self-taught mechanical genius in his late twenties—departs on a hunting trip into the Everglades with his younger cousin Robert. He never returns. What follows is not a murder investigation with clear suspects and clues, but a decades-long reckoning with absence itself.

Buddy’s pregnant wife, Florinda, is left in liminal widowhood—unable to remarry, unable to access legal recognition, unable to grieve without a body. His father, King Gene, pursues a private certainty about what happened, one that hardens into unshakeable belief. Buddy’s infant son, Ernest, grows up knowing his father only through stories and a single photograph.

The novel traces how the community fills the void of not-knowing with rumor: rival families blamed, territorial disputes invoked, a deathbed confession that cannot be verified. The abandoned skiff is found, but it yields no answers. The Everglades, beautiful and indifferent, keeps its secrets.

Even Now, I Am Here traces how trauma travels through families, how institutions harm in the name of healing, and how silence becomes a form of survival.

Coming in November 2026.

The woman Carmen Holland remembers as beloved, gentle, graceful, the heart of her family, was erased long before she died.

When Carmen discovers her grandmother Bella’s hidden journal decades after her death, she uncovers a devastating secret: in 1948, Bella was committed to Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee for postpartum depression. There, she endured years of electroshock treatments and institutional abuse that fractured her sense of self. When she finally returned home, she was “cured”, medicated into compliance, trained never to speak of her pain, performing the role of the perfect wife and mother while the real Bella remained locked away.

Through Bella’s raw, unflinching journal entries and Carmen’s present-day investigation, Even Now, I Am Here traces how trauma travels through families, how institutions harm in the name of healing, and how silence becomes a form of survival. But Carmen must now decide: honor her grandmother’s buried truth, or protect the family’s carefully constructed mythology?

Some stories demand to be told. Some truths refuse to stay buried.

FANTASY FICTION

The Unremembered is a haunting meditation on memory, erasure, and the fragile bonds between the living and the dead—and the power of preserving the past when someone is determined to destroy it.

Coming in 2027.

In a world where every cemetery conceals a doorway, the dead live on beneath the surface in an enormous city until their final memory fades. When a young sorcerer named Caleb discovers that family records, portraits, and gravestones are being destroyed in the living world, a sinister pattern emerges: thousands of souls are vanishing below. Someone is deliberately erasing the dead. With the very fabric of the underworld unraveling, Caleb races to uncover the culprit behind this devastating plot.

As he delves deeper, Caleb learns that a powerful rival sorcerer named Elara is orchestrating the destruction. Her relentless mission to rewrite history and eliminate the past threatens to obliterate the dead entirely. The stakes skyrocket as Caleb realizes that even the oldest of the deceased are not safe from her reach. While he struggles to stop her, panic spreads through the city below, where the dead desperately cling to their last connections with the living.

Caleb’s quest takes him to the forgotten corners of both worlds. He enlists the help of the dead and the living, fighting to preserve what remains of their fragile memories. But Elara’s reach is vast, and her attacks grow more ruthless. She targets Caleb directly, erasing the records of his own family. With his loved ones vanishing and his resolve shaken, Caleb faces a choice: protect his personal past or save the city from total annihilation.

In a final confrontation, Caleb musters the strength to challenge Elara. He harnesses the collective power of the dead, channeling their will to remember against her. The clash threatens to destroy them all, but Caleb’s determination prevails. Elara’s plot collapses, and she disappears, leaving the city in a precarious balance. The survivors rally, rebuilding their world and vowing to protect their histories from future threats.

Caleb emerges transformed, knowing that memory is both fragile and fierce. The city below breathes again, but the scars of Elara’s assault linger. As the living and the dead renew their bonds, Caleb stands watch, ready to defend against any who dare to erase them again.

The Book of Unwritten Lives is a haunting exploration of regret, identity, and the seductive pull of roads not taken—and what it means to finally choose the imperfect life that is truly your own.

Coming in 2027.

Every life you didn’t choose is still being lived somewhere. Iris Calder never believed that—until she found the book hidden among her dead mother’s things, its blank pages waiting for exactly one kind of touch: hers.

Open it, and it will show you a husband you never married. A daughter with your mother’s eyes who has never once heard your voice. A version of April rain in a city you almost moved to, and the ghost of a man you loved at twenty-two, still waiting on a doorstep that no longer exists. All Iris has to do is press her palm to the page—and step through.

At first, it feels like being forgiven. The alternate lives are warm, specific, achingly tender, full of the small mercies her real life has never offered her. But nothing crosses for free. Every visit leaves a debt: a name gone missing from her phone, a memory of her mother’s laugh spent like currency, a stranger’s face in the mirror where her own used to be. The boundary between what Iris lived and what she almost lived is wearing thin—and something on the other side has started pressing back.

She is not the only Iris who knows the book exists. There is another version of her, patient and hungry, who has spent years learning exactly how to walk through that door and stay. She doesn’t want to visit Iris’s life.

She wants to keep it.

Now Iris must decide how much of herself she is willing to lose to remain who she actually is—and whether an ordinary, imperfect life was ever worth wanting in the first place.

In Bloodroot, memory becomes the most powerful magic; history’s erasure turned into transformation by the hard and necessary work of truth.

Coming in 2027.

In 1887, in a small southern town fractured by racism and colonial violence, a woman of mixed heritage discovers she’s inherited blood-working magic, the ability to see and manipulate the deep histories bound into the land itself. When a wealthy plantation widow summons Evangeline to treat her daughter-in-law’s mysterious illness, Evangeline realizes the sickness is supernatural, a manifestation of the house’s violent history, of the guilt and rage that haunts a mansion built by enslaved hands.

Using her newfound power, Evangeline performs a blood-working ritual that forces the truth into the open: the house itself is speaking, revealing what the powerful have worked so hard to keep silent. Now faced with a choice between healing indiscriminately or allowing the sickness to speak its truth, Evangeline must call the community to a meeting and propose something radical, to acknowledge the supernatural, to accept a ritual that will recognize it, and force Bloodmoss to confront what has been buried.

In Bloodroot, memory becomes the most powerful magic; history’s erasure turned into transformation by the hard and necessary work of truth.

The River Remembers is a haunting meditation on historical trauma, the power of women’s testimony, and the possibility of justice when the past refuses to stay buried.

Coming in 2027.

When a catastrophic flood strikes Mercy’s Landing in 1887, it returns what the river has held for centuries, and what the town’s most powerful families have spent generations burying. Midwife Eliza Mae Baptiste possesses a rare gift: she can hear the voices of the dead carried on the wind. When she discovers an iron box containing evidence of colonial genocide and land theft, the dead finally begin to speak.

An unlikely alliance forms when wealthy widow Abigail Whitlock seeks answers about her family’s complicity. Together, they uncover layers of atrocity—Creek women murdered, enslaved healers separated from their children, mixed-race women erased from records. But Jeremiah Cain, descendant of the town’s founders, will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.

Then comes a catastrophic storm that dissolves the boundary between past and present. The dead walk openly through the streets. Denial becomes impossible. What emerges is imperfect reckoning—and the understanding that memory itself is an act of resistance.

The Last Flame of Avarra is a sweeping meditation on power, inequality, and sacrifice. And the possibility of building a more just world when an old order can no longer survive.

Coming in 2027.

Magic built the empire. Now its disappearance may destroy it.

For generations, the Avarra Empire has been ruled by those who command magic. But the power that once seemed limitless is fading, weakening with every generation. As the old mage elite struggle to hold on to their authority and the non-magical classes rise against them, unrest spreads across an empire already beginning to fracture.

In the midst of the turmoil, young Lira carries a secret that could change everything. Her magic has not faded. When discovery forces her to flee, Lira is drawn into a dangerous journey through ruined cities, hidden resistance strongholds, and the crumbling heart of Avarra itself. Pursued by those who would control her power—and others who would see magic destroyed forever—she begins to uncover a truth the empire has buried for centuries.

Magic was never endless. It was taken. Hoarded. Exploited. And now the price has come due. With war closing in and the last remnants of magic slipping away, Lira must decide whether to preserve the power that makes her extraordinary or sacrifice it to create a future where no one rules by magic again. To save Avarra, its last flame may have to be extinguished.
