Inheritance of Silence Collection
The Inheritance of Silence Collection is an interconnected body of contemporary fiction exploring the lives we inherit, the identities we build, the people we love, and the difficult work of becoming who we were always meant to be.
Beginning with Inheritance of Silence, the collection follows characters shaped by family, trauma, love, loss, friendship, creativity, spirituality, and the expectations placed upon them by others. Across Chasing Pavements, Lux’s Tarot & Spiritual Awakening, Starving Artist & Saviors, and Theo & Chase: Happily Ever After, familiar lives expand into stories of their own, revealing that no person exists only within the chapter in which someone else first encounters them.
At the heart of the collection is a simple question: What do we do with everything we inherit that we never chose?
Some characters confront the silence of families that taught them what could—and could not—be spoken. Others search for meaning through love, art, spirituality, friendship, ambition, or the courage to begin again. Relationships evolve. Old wounds resurface. Chosen families form. People who once existed at the edges of another person's story step forward and become the centers of their own.
Together, the five works create a larger portrait of survival, identity, healing, love, self-discovery, and transformation—while allowing each story to explore a different path toward the same destination: living a life defined not simply by what happened to us, but by what we choose to become afterward.
The collection encompasses:
Inheritance of Silence
Chasing Pavements
Lux’s Tarot & Spiritual Awakening
Starving Artist & Saviors
Theo & Chase: Happily Ever After
Each story stands on its own, but together they reveal a broader world in which secondary characters become protagonists, relationships continue beyond the final page, and one person's ending may be the beginning of someone else's story.
Some stories are inherited. Some are chosen. And some can only begin after the silence is finally broken.
