The Girl Who Walked Out of Time
In 1985, eighteen-year-old Lena Carbone left her house in Jamestown, New York, to take a walk in the woods. She never came back.
Forty years later, on the morning of the same date, October 10th, Lena steps out of those same woods, unchanged. To her, the walk lasted an hour and a half. To everyone else, it was a lifetime.
Her mother is an old woman. Her friends are grandparents. The town that mourned her has moved on—or thinks it has. The world she knew is gone, replaced by smartphones, streaming, and a thousand unanswered questions.
DNA proves she is who she says she is. Science can’t explain it. The government wants to study her. The town wants a miracle. Lena only wants her life back, something no one can give her.
Told with stark realism and emotional clarity, The Girl Who Walked Out of Time is a haunting novel about identity, memory, and the unbearable weight of years that shouldn’t exist.

Blackthorne
A town that doesn’t appear on any map.
A sister who shouldn’t be alive.
A name carved in stone that belongs to him.
Freelance journalist Ismael Blackthorne hikes into a remote valley for a routine travel piece and finds a town no one has heard of, but whose residents swear has always been there.
The longer he stays, the more the town seems to know him. A woman with his sister’s face denies him but bears the scars of her death. His name stands etched onto a grave.
At night, he dreams himself in the 1920s: a man called Edward Mercer Blackthorne, bound to Clara Mercer, a woman who may be his sister, his lover, his wife, his great great grandmother or all of them merged into one.
The deeper he goes, the more the town folds time and memory into a trap. Every choice feels like a repetition, every road leads back to the square, every promise ends in blood.
To stay means surrender. To leave may be impossible.
And some loves cut deeper than a knife.
