Set in the shadowed town of Ashwood Hollow—neighbour to the haunted Ashridge Hollow from Britt Wolfe’s The Hollow Hours series—Every Witch Was Once a Woman is Songs to Stories Volume XII, a dark feminist ghost story about the women we destroy and the power that rises from their ashes. When Hazel Vale’s husband vanishes in 1949, the neighbours whisper of madness and murder, transforming a victim into a legend. Decades later, Annie Smith faces the same accusations after years of abuse, her trial haunted by flickering lights and an unseen presence determined to rewrite history. Eerie, poetic, and devastatingly human, this novella explores how myths are born from fear—and how every witch was once a woman who refused to burn quietly.

Sweet as Sin is a dark, seductive psychological thriller inspired by Taylor Swift’s Don’t Blame Me—a haunting exploration of what happens when love becomes an addiction, and devotion curdles into obsession. Set against the quiet backdrop of suburban Pennsylvania, it unravels the story of a girl who loved too deeply, too fiercely, and without restraint. Through rich prose and heart-stopping twists, this novella examines the terrifying power of passion, the lies we tell for love, and the ruin that follows when worship turns to violence. It’s a story about the sweetness that poisons, the innocence that kills, and the kind of love that demands blood for proof.

This is the piece of writing I am most proud of. The Silence After is a raw, lyrical, and devastating novella based on Taylor Swift’s Cassandra from The Tortured Poets Department. It weaves betrayal, silence, and survival into a haunting portrait of what it means to be unheard—and what it costs to finally find your voice. As part of my Songs to Stories series, Volume X dives deep into the ache of family, truth, and resilience, offering a story that is as unflinching as it is unforgettable.

The Silent Man is a haunting and heart-wrenching novella about three sisters shaped by the abuse they endured—and the father who stood by and let it happen. When Lena is cast out of the family home at fourteen, she disappears into the streets while her younger sister Isla remains behind, left to bear the brunt of their mother’s cruelty and their sister Vanessa’s calculated torment. Years later, after their mother’s death, Lena and Isla reunite and begin to piece together the truth of their shared trauma. As Vanessa unravels the fragile peace with threats and manipulation, the two sisters confront the painful reality: their lives could have been entirely different if their father had simply found the courage to protect them. In an imagined alternate timeline, we glimpse the family they could have become—but in the end, the only thing that ever stood in their way was all of his silence.

Echoes Of Us is a sweeping, time-bending love story about two souls who find each other across centuries—again and again. From candlelit parlours to battlefield trenches, from glittering Parisian nights to windswept prairies, their connection defies every boundary of time and space. Each life ends too soon. Each love is cut short. But something greater always pulls them back. Now, in the present day, they meet once more—strangers with the haunting sense that they've been here before. This time, fate offers them something they've never had before: a real chance. A shared future. A love that might finally stay. Echoes Of Us is a story about memory, destiny, and the kind of love that outlasts lifetimes.

Walter Callahan has spent a lifetime chasing the stars, but when he reads the obituary of Margaret Dawson—the woman he once loved and lost—his world tilts. Sixty years have passed since their last dance, since his devotion to the Apollo missions left Maggie waiting in empty ballrooms for a man who never came home in time. Now, as memories flood back, Walter retraces their past, aching with the weight of regret. Did she ever forgive him? Did she find someone who danced when he wouldn't? As dusk settles outside the grand old ballroom where she once twirled in his arms, Walter takes a step, then another, swaying to the echoes of a song only he can hear. Some loves are lost. Some are left behind. But some—some stay holy forever.

Maddy had always believed in forever.

From the moment she met Eve on their first day of kindergarten—when a small, shy girl refused to board the bus and Maddy took her hand and never let go—forever seemed inevitable. Together, they built a lifetime of shared memories: whispered secrets during sleepovers, first heartbreaks soothed over ice cream, weddings where they stood by each other’s side, and the dream of their bookstore café, Once Upon A Latte, which became the heart of their lives.

But forever doesn’t always last.

Fading From Forever is a heart-wrenching story of love in its rawest form—the kind that aches, the kind that refuses to let go even when the world demands it. Eve has made peace with the inevitable, but her husband, Sebastian, refuses to surrender to the fate that is pulling her away.
