Shattered Echoes
A 2024 Realm Award-winning novella
Cole Rainer just wants to get his missing father back and restore his broken family.
One year ago, Cole’s dad walked through the portal in his grandma’s basement and never came back. Despite the danger of leaving a passage to an unstable world open, Cole refuses to close the portal – instead standing guard in the basement, isolated from his family, desperately hoping somehow his father survived.
But as the portal begins to crumble, it threatens to take their home with it. Before Cole closes the passage, he receives a mysterious SOS message from his father. Cole has one day to rescue him before the port decays and fractures their world beyond repair.
But Cole’s world is already fractured, and his brother starts to fear that the voice may not be their missing father after all – but something else.
Stories that Acknowledge "Invisible" Struggles...
It’s hard to find stories that acknowledge “invisible” struggles in fantasy vs contemporary.
Have you ever felt that way? If you have, you’ve come to the right place.
In my books, you can expect compelling fantasy that acknowledges invisible struggles like chronic illness, mental health and trauma, while retaining a core of hope and wonder.

Hello friend,
Welcome. I’m Hope and I’m so glad you stopped by (Really…let’s face it; the internet is vast – it’s own world almost – and of all the places you could’ve gone, you popped in here. :D)!
When I’m not writing, I’m drawing too many of my characters, getting hooked on TV shows – from crime dramas to anime to K-dramas – or traveling whenever I can (London holds a special place in my heart). I’m also a mom to a ragdoll cat and a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
Some of the things I love are Jesus, deep conversations, being cozy and making authentic connections with people.
Whether you stick around and we get to connect or you move on, you are welcome in this space!
