The Shadows We Breathe (Volume 2) is now available in eBook and paperback!
Thank you to the talented authors who contributed their gorgeous prose to this anthology of short fiction. You are all amazing.

WE ARE ALL PART SHADOW
Life promises joy and sorrow. Alongside the light, there will always be traces of darkness. It is the nature of being human.
In this anthology of short fiction, we explore healthโhow the state of our bodies and minds nurtures us, damages us, and forms our reality.
Eight artists, whose words paint worlds, bring you stories of pain, confusion, acceptance, and courage. They reveal the conflicting and contrasting nature of health.
Whether mental or physical, our state of being can create chaos or bring us peace.
Within these pages, beautiful words are spun into tales threaded with darkness.
Discover the shadows we breathe.
