Hi there,

This isn’t an easy email to write, but it’s an honest one.

I wrote a short story a while back, and it’s the most personal thing I’ve ever shared. It’s not part of a series, and it doesn’t follow a grand magical quest.
​
But there is magic in it… a quieter kind. The kind that aches.

It was inspired by the loss of my sister.

In September of 2000, my older sister passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. Over the years, I’ve processed a lot of grief through writing—journaling, poetry, even messy stream-of-consciousness pages. Still, this story caught me by surprise.

It’s a sad story. I won’t pretend otherwise. But I also hope it’s the kind of story that might make someone out there feel a little less alone.

Honestly, I’ve never felt comfortable charging money for it. This story is something I simply want to share in the hope it offers comfort, even if only for a moment.

It’s called "Hands" and you can read it here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/mrxo225gdg​

​
It’s a small story, but it means a lot to me. If you do read it, thank you for giving it space in your heart. And thank you for being here, for reading my words, and for letting me share this little piece of myself with you.
​
Here's to healing, however we know how.

With love,
K.J.

P.S. If you’ve ever lost someone and needed to say something you didn’t know how to say… I see you. I hope this story holds you gently.
