COMING SOON!

From the ashes of trauma comes a voice that refuses to stay silent.

Originally released in 2017 as What Happened to Me, this reimagined and deeply personal novel returns with new breath—rewritten, expanded, and more hauntingly human than ever before. In The Quiet After the Sirens, Richard White—poet, veteran, and former EMS Lieutenant—peels back the layers of uniform and armor to reveal the silent battles that follow the noise.

From the scorching sands of Iraq to the dim, echoing aftermath of emergency calls, White delivers a gut-punch narrative of PTSD, depression, and survival. But this isn’t just a story about what breaks a person—it’s a story about what holds them together. With lyrical honesty and unflinching vulnerability, he illuminates the moments most first responders keep hidden: the quiet grief, the invisible scars, the long nights no one talks about.

This is not a story of heroes and happy endings.
It’s a story of endurance, of unraveling—and rebuilding.
Of learning to breathe again in the silence that follows chaos.

A raw and necessary read for first responders, veterans, and anyone who’s ever wondered what happens after the sirens fade.
This is not who Richard White was.
This is who he became.

A Testament to Survival. A Tribute to the Lost.

In Shattered Glass, poet and veteran Richard White lays bare the battles many fight in silence—against depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and the aching weight of suicide. With raw vulnerability and fierce compassion, White transforms pain into poetry, honoring the friends he has lost and the ones still standing on the front lines of their own inner wars.

This collection is more than just a reflection on mental health—it’s a journey through the fragile, resilient landscape of the human spirit. Each poem is a shard of memory, emotion, and truth, pieced together with startling honesty and a deep desire to understand what it means to survive.

With wit, empathy, and a lyrical voice shaped by hardship, Shattered Glass is both a cry and a comfort. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt broken—and offers hope that even shattered things can still shine.

Poetry from the Ashes of a Fierce Life

Rising from a life marked by hardship, heartbreak, and resilience, Burning Soul is the powerful debut poetry collection from S.L. Goyette. From the trials of a turbulent childhood to the raw realities of becoming a teenage parent, Goyette pours her soul onto the page in a fearless act of survival and self-expression.

Each poem is a reflection of a life lived on the edge of pain and perseverance—a journey through loss, grief, abandonment, love, and the fire of emotional truth. With unflinching honesty and lyrical depth, her words tear at the heartstrings and speak to the wounds we often carry in silence.

Burning Soul is more than poetry—it’s a lifeline. A testament to the strength it takes to rise from tragedy, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is beauty in the burn.
