"Ink and Ether" Is Ready
—Now it’s time to bring it to life.
I’ve spent the past year writing a novella that wrestles with the power of voice—and what happens when it's taken away.
Today, I’m sharing it publicly for the first time.
Ink and Ether is a psychological thriller about ghostwriting, authorship, and erasure—told through fragmented archives, layered voices, and nonlinear time.
It follows Elena, a ghostwriter hired to help a fallen icon rewrite his legacy—only to uncover the silenced woman he wrote out of history, and how she was complicit in it.
It’s a story about complicity, memory, and what it takes to reclaim a voice you were never meant to hear.
Why I’m Writing
This isn’t just a book—it’s an act of reclamation. If you’ve read my poems, you know I write to restore what’s been buried, obscured, erased.
Ink and Ether carries that same thread into long form. It’s a novella for anyone who’s ever felt like a footnote in someone else’s story.
What Happens Next
I’ve been offered a flexible, values-aligned path with an indie publisher to bring this story into the world.
To confirm my publishing slot, I need to raise $500 by September 15.
My first milestone is $250–$500 by June 30 to signal commitment and begin the act of bringing this story into form.
