You Can't Stay
Not everything lost should be found.
When Esther’s sister vanishes without a trace, no one cares—not for a struggling addict.
But Esther refuses to let the only family she has left slip away. Her search becomes an obsession, uncovering whispers of a dark secret others have died to keep buried.
Dozens of disappearances.
The same location.
The same lie.
Every year, the government sends a group of people deep into New Hampshire’s White Mountains.
And every year, they don’t return.
Soon, another group of people will be sent into the woods. And this time, Esther will join them to find her sister.
But not everything lost should be found. In the heart of the wilderness, some secrets are meant to die.
Note: This book is a horror thriller featuring Norse mythology, the occult, kidnapping, Native cultures, military and government operations, murder mystery, and intense suspense.

I am a writer with a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and I once worked as a psychotherapist in the criminal justice system. I consider myself a crime-solving enthusiast, and I often daydream about being the female version of Columbo, solving mysteries while rocking a trench coat. When I'm not busy crafting suspenseful tales, I find myself grappling with one of life's most significant conundrums: how kids can simultaneously be the greatest joy and the secret to accelerated aging.
I aim to delve into uncharted territories and challenge the norm through my writing. I strive to create stories that will entertain and intrigue my readers, leaving a lasting impression long after they've finished reading my work.
