This book is for everyone—but especially for anyone who has ever felt doubt, loss, or fear, or questioned their intuition. It’s for people who might skew to angst and introspection. It’s for those who often find themselves reflecting on the nature of the universe or our understanding of truth. It is for anyone who likes a good, old-fashioned mystery.

The Rosalyn Letters is set in Erie, Pennsylvania and New York City over the course of a year in 1997.

This book does not contain any explicit language or sexual content. It does, however, contain descriptions of a crime of violence which resurfaces throughout the story. It may be considered disturbing for some more sensitive minds, but is not prohibitively graphic for most. The concept of death is featured prominently in this work of fiction.

The Rosalyn Letters is written as a combination of epistolary prose, narrative poetry in AABB rhyming couplets. It is a mystery thriller wrapped in philosophical and metaphysical inquiry. The format is a transcription of letters in Rosalyn's journal—a first-person narration comprised of both written entries and pencil and ink drawings. It is the world experienced through Rosalyn’s mind.

Poetry forces our minds to slow down and pay attention through its meter and rhyme, and a private journal is an intimate and uncensored space that offers a soft landing for free raw expression and inquiry. Thoughts have permission to exist simply as they are.

This project is a combination of several experimental ingredients including poetry, prose and visual art. This book was not produced through traditional publishing means. The entire process of writing, editing, production, illustration, design, and publishing was all done by the author with special thanks to the her family, especially the author's partner and mom, for their steadfast support, advice, second opinions, and editing.

A coming of age story. An ode to the 1990s. A gruesome and suspenseful murder mystery. A story about deep pain, grief and mourning. An experiment of storytelling, lyricism, and poetry. A comedy at moments, but more often a tragedy. A meditation on the meaning of dreams. An exploration of life and death, light and dark. A inquiry into the nature of our universe. A call to action.

That's for you to decide.
