About this listen
5 stars! "This book is a refreshing change for post-apocalyptic narratives."
5 stars! "So good it kept me from my housework."
Two broken souls. One fragile thread of connection. Can trust heal the wounds of the past?
Abigail Winters has spent her life picking up the pieces. A single mother raising her baby, Danny, after the death of her soldier boyfriend, Abby finds strength in the small family she’s built: a kind-hearted baker who feels like a surrogate father and a community she gives back to in every way she can. She’s always believed in seeing the good in people—even when it feels like no one else does.
Blake Sullivan has spent years running—from his past, his pain, and the demons that haunt him. Homeless and consumed by the memories of a war that changed him forever, he lives in the shadows of a tent camp, keeping the world at arm’s length. But Abby’s kindness is a light he didn’t expect. Her generosity chips away at his defenses, and the life she offers—a family, hope, love—is everything he never thought he deserved.
When Abby discovers the truth about Blake’s connection to her late boyfriend, the fragile trust between them is tested. As secrets unravel and their worlds collide, both must confront the wounds of the past and decide whether they can truly move forward together.
In Fragile Threads, the bonds of family, forgiveness, and hope are tested against the backdrop of quiet resilience and unspoken pain. Perfect for readers who love emotional journeys, raw and real characters, and stories of love that emerge from unexpected places.
Author's Note: I wanted to give you a kind heads-up: both Fragile Threads (Book 1) and Fraying Bonds (Book 2) end on a cliffhanger.
But don’t worry—there’s no need to wait for the next part of the story. The entire series, including the final book, Woven Futures, is available now! You can continue Abby and Blake’s adventure without delay and experience every twist, triumph, and tender moment as they fight for survival and the hope of a new tomorrow.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
