In a realm stitched between memory and oblivion, Ellie takes her first steps alone, guided only by the glow of a coin and the weight of a love she refuses to lose.
Purgatory is no quiet resting place. Its shadows whisper, its ground trembles with secrets, and every heartbeat feels borrowed. But through the fear, through the dark, Ellie discovers unlikely light: a strange companion, a trail laced with wonder, and the ache of something deeper than death, hope.
With each step, Ellie draws closer to the one she lost. But finding him may mean facing truths buried far deeper than the grave.
A haunting continuation of Love in the Afterlife, this second book weaves sorrow and beauty into a spellbinding journey where love may be the only way out… or the final trap.

What was your inspiration to start writing?
My friend Nicholas Cortez decided to write a book about his mental health. Called “Vigorous”. After reading his book, I was like, ” I can do this too.” So, I decided to write about some of my past experiences.
Alan Wake is one of my favorite video games. It is about an author whose writing comes to life. It is full of mysteries and a great story. I wanted to create something similar and have my own universe.
How many parts are in Ellies story?
Ellies & Augusts story will span across three books. There will be more stories though, that will be in the same universe to come.
