I Am The Monster In The Closet is a story that covers a topic that’s recently become near and dear to my heart—that topic being Postpartum Depression. Back in 2023, I experienced my own unexpected brush with PPD and have since been working through it with the right support and team all around me. Since every life event in a writer’s life is source material, I launched myself into researching my condition to do more than just work towards recovery. Incorporating my experiences (negative or otherwise) into my writing is how I cope with hard times. I pored over the books, pages and links my doctors gave me to better understand my situation, absorbing every bit of information I could so I could devise ways to write out what I was feeling. Then, naturally, I searched for any stories already written on the topic to get a glimpse of what others who shared my experience went through.


And I found nothing.


I’m not saying there aren’t any books or short stories out there that cover the topic of PPD, but I wasn’t able to find them. Whether it’s because my ability to search for said stories has diminished over time or they really are that hard to find, I thought I’d write something that may make the search for someone else just one step easier. That’s my hope for this daring new little story when it debuts next month. Pre-order your copy of Journey Into Hope today on amazon or get your physical copy at Brazos Book Store at the official book launch!
