They were always just a fence apart, until growing up pulled them worlds away.

This Side of the Fence is a sweeping story of first love, fierce loyalty, and the kind of second chance that proves some hearts are meant to find their way home.

Love is the first fire we ever learn to touch—
and the last we learn to survive.
Everything in between is the story of how we burn.

Through the Ashes is a collection of poems about what love gives, what it takes, and what it leaves behind. These pages move through the heat of desire, the smoke of loss, the char of forgiveness, and the soft quiet of what endures.
