This collection of stories has been a marathon of love. I started writing the Hiraeth anthology back in high school, with the post recent piece drafted earlier this year (2020).
It’s a menagerie of moments. Moments that have come to me in dreams, in daydreams, in what-ifs. Born from the scars of devastating memories, and flickers of joy. Some of them are accurate retellings.
I invite you to pour yourself a cup of tea or whiskey neat. Sit down in your favorite chair at your favorite time of day, when the light streams into the room just right. Gift this time to yourself.
Read the anthology in one sitting or enjoy one story at a time, and let the soul I’ve spilled across these pages wash over you in pensive melancholy.
