Some of the most important stories
are the ones we tell ourselves.

Stories from the Quiet

Stories from the Quiet is a collection of reflective essays on motherhood, identity, healing, and the slow work of becoming. These pieces explore the internal landscapes we don’t always speak about — the mental load, the loneliness inside noise, the quiet after survival, and the strength it takes to rebuild a life without a blueprint.

Reviews

Fear Of NO ONE. By: E.E. Nelson

E.E. Nelson has become an amazing upcoming author. Her words held my undivided attention throughout the entire book. When I was not reading it, I was dreaming it. The characters, the atmosphere and the storyline together place you right in the middle of what is happening, you are there. So much to consume. So much more you are eager to consume. My thoughts are constantly hanging onto the continuing of book number two in this mesmerizing series. Brilliant!

I Am Chosen

Nelson’s prose balances beauty and brutality — a rhythm that mirrors Ember herself. The story builds toward an ending that feels both inevitable and hard-won, leaving behind a wake of questions about autonomy, loyalty, and what it truly means to choose your own fate.

Amazing find! Engaging!

A smoldering slow burn that ignites into a wildfire at the perfect timing. The story and character depiction is shockingly relatable and enthralling. The journey is a perfect mixture of keeping the reader guessing while convincing them they’re on the right track- on the edge of your seat- CAPTIVATING

If you think you’ve heard this story before- you haven’t!

Nelson is the Author you’ve been waiting for
