Love Sick: Stories from the Edge of Healing gathers sixteen stories shaped by transition, memory, loss, and the stubborn hope that survives even the hardest seasons. These pieces move through realism, fantasy, horror, and the surreal, tracing the moments when ordinary lives shift and something essential breaks open.

A traveler navigates the dangerous backroads of Memory Lane. A woman outruns the ghosts of regret. A child's flower tells an unwelcome truth. A dying girl steps into a kingdom waiting for her. A compact mirror opens to the life she never imagined. Across these stories, people face the versions of themselves they're trying to escape-and the ones they're becoming.

This collection isn't about romance. It's about the human heart in its fractured, resilient forms: what we carry, what we release, and what healing asks of us.
