In most bookstores you'll find innumerable books about communication, the power of language, manipulation through words. Yes, words can easily blind. But what happens when we realize, that words are no more than empty vessels? That they lack inherent depth and meaning? What does the limit of language mean for a relationship of two people? One of them full of thoughts and feelings, unable to convey them. The other one so vacant inside, and yet so rich with clever words. Language can make thoughts visible, audible. Language can be so meaningful, and still so meaningless. "It takes sonnets and poems to turn strangers into lovers. It takes a single word to turn lovers into strangers."

What is life if not a tragedy? "The Things I Lied About" takes you into a place of dark, thought-provoking psychological poetry that lingers with you even after you have put the book down. With its short- to mid-length poetry, The Things I Lied About is focused on different aspects of life and emotions that are with us through the journey. Loosely inspired by Greek tragedies, it attempts to reduce humans to nothing more than their roots and forces them to accept the carnage that each and every one of them is capable of. Would you still be the person you are now if it weren't for this society?

In the quiet, shadowed corners of their minds, Regan and Evan grapple with the weight of their own existence. For Regan, an artist whose soul is entwined with the melancholy of his creations, every brushstroke is a reflection of his fragmented self. For Evan, haunted by the ghosts of a past he cannot escape, life is a series of days spent drifting between the overwhelming urge to disappear and the desperate need to be seen. Bound by a friendship that is as fragile as it is profound, they navigate the blurred lines between despair and hope, art and life, and the person they are versus the person they want to be. As Regan's art exhibition looms, both men must confront their deepest fears and insecurities, discovering in each other the reflections of their own miseryand the faintest glimmers of redemption. The Art of Being Miserable is a poetic and introspective exploration of loneliness, mental health, and the complexity of human connection.

The year is 2074 and aproximately 99% of the humans on earth have been killed or turned to zombie like creatures by a virus created at Pennsylvania laboratories. The person in charge of this research project: Aerie Walker, 15-year old genius and "wondergirl", now completely lost for ideas on where to go or what to do. On the other hand, 17-year old stowaway Layla is fighting for survival on her own everyday in hopes of finding and reuniting with her family. When the two girls meet, they decide to stick together, slowly revealing more and more of their past and their experiences to each other. The apocalypse challenges their ideals of wrong and right and as their bond grows stronger they have to face the question: Are they still allowed happiness when everyone they loves is gone?

A short story collection to explore characters of history that history did not have time for. No place neither for heroes or happy ends nor the stories that get all the attention normally. Fates that are dark and sometimes far from an epic adventure, yet worth writing about with every word that was spent.

This isn't just a small collection of poems - this is a story about a girl coming of age, struggling with her mental health, struggling to find her place in this world. This is a book about heartbreak and love, pain and joy, grief and healing - and about finding hope after all.
