The Marriage Audit

The Marriage Audit
A novel of one day, twelve questions, and the silences that nearly ended everything. Sophia and Beau LeBlanc built their life on quiet rituals—shared calendars, polite restraint, mutual ambition. But after years of slow unraveling, they find themselves seated across from a counselor, divorce papers unsigned, asking one final question: is there anything left to save? Is there anything left to save? What follows is one day. Twelve questions. And two people finally learning to speak the language of everything they’ve left unsaid—about love, regret, memory, and the slow unraveling of what once held them together.

Told through alternating perspectives and memory-laced interludes, The Marriage Audit is a lyrical, intimate portrait of a modern relationship at its breaking point. With unflinching emotional honesty, it explores the space between what we promise and who we become—and whether love can still be chosen when everything has changed. This is not a love story. It’s a story about love—how it falters, how it endures, and how it asks to be chosen again.

Perfect for readers who love:

-Emotionally layered literary fiction

-Relationship-driven stories with deep interiority

-Themes of grief, memory, infidelity, and quiet resilience

-The introspective tone of Mary Beth Keane, Claire Lombardo, or Dani Shapiro

Note to Readers: The Marriage Audit is not a fast-paced novel. It’s built on quiet tension, emotional excavation, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t come easily. It unfolds over a single day—but the real weight lives in the pauses, the silences, and the memories that surface between them. If you’re looking for a quick read with tidy resolutions, this may not be the right fit. But if you value character-driven fiction, layered emotion, and the slow burn of truth and tenderness—this book was written with you in mind. Part of a shared world with The Weight of Ash and Prayer—connected by family and legacy. Each novel stands alone. $0.99 on Kindle.

How Hot It Be in Hell

How Hot It Be in Hell

How Hot It Be In Hell descends into the hidden impulses people try to outrun—jealousy, obsession, violence, desire, and the quiet urges that twist a life off course. Each poem opens a door into a different human fracture: a lover’s fatal rage, a predator’s watchful hunger, a drunk stumbling toward chaos, a homeless man recounting the slow collapse of everything he held dear. Even the act of writing becomes a reckoning with the shadows that shape meaning, rendered through Drummond’s surreal imagery and genre-bending voice.

As the collection deepens, the tone grows darker, more unflinching, until the final poem, HOT FIRE, tears past individual sins and imagines hell itself breaking loose upon the earth. Drummond blends romance, horror, mystery, and lyrical experimentation into a haunting exploration of how easily humanity slips toward ruin. The result is a compelling, fire?lit journey for readers drawn to poetry that stares directly into darkness and refuses to look away. $2.99 on Kindle.
