The Observer Protocol is a story drawn from the fissures of collective memory. It is not merely about a cold case reopened or the body found beneath a coastal bluff. It is about what happens when a lie is buried so deeply it rewrites the truth. Set against the fog-draped shores of Downeast Maine and the shuttered hallways of forgotten cold war era research facilities, this book follows Dr. Elisa Davis, a seasoned forensic pathologist, and Silas Vale, a man whose past was designed to erase itself.

Where the Ash Tree Grows is the story of one man’s return to the place that shaped him, and the woman who walked beside him through each stone-walled lane, windswept ferry ride, and silent glen. Together, they retrace the landscapes of memory: from the cragged shores of Skye to the moss-draped bridges of Glen Affric, from quiet cafés in Edinburgh to the shadowed history of Glencoe.

When Ruth Alder arrives in the small town of Jamesport, Maine, she isn’t looking for company. She’s not even looking for peace. She wants to forget, to be forgotten, and to let the sea take what little remains. But the cottage she rents leans with a kind of memory. The townspeople speak in half-truths. And something in the sand below the bluff refuses to stay buried.

Aging is a journey that weaves itself through every moment of life, a quiet companion that teaches, transforms, and reveals. It is a process both tender and unyielding, a rhythm of gain and loss, a constant reminder of life’s fragility and resilience. These poems are an ode to that journey, an exploration of what it means to grow older, to carry the weight of love and memory, and to find beauty in the passage of time.
