I Wasn't Ready to Lose You: A novel about grief, memory, and the silence left behind

I Wasn't Ready to Lose You is a psychological thriller about grief, memory, and the silence we carry. When Asher was nine, his grandfather died. Then his best friend vanished. Then Ivy left - without explanation. Now in college and haunted by a past he never processed, Asher starts seeing signs: a red mark on his hand, an old dog tag on his keychain, a cassette tape that shouldn't exist. But the more he tries to forget, the louder the silence gets. Told through dreams, fractured memory, and one last voice recording, this story follows a young man reckoning with loss not just of life, but of loyalty, identity, and self. Grief doesn't disappear. It waits. And Asher is done running.
