things we never said / the silas hawthorne letters
Q: What connects "Things We Never Said" and "The Hawthorne Letters"?
A: These two works are soulmates in different forms. Things We Never Said is the novel — a raw, emotional story about love, loss, rediscovery, and the truths we bury to survive. The Hawthorne Letters are intimate, personal letters written by Silas, one of the main characters, offering readers a glimpse into the thoughts and longing that shape the novel's deeper emotional current. Together, they tell a love story both broken and breathtaking.
Q: What is "Things We Never Said" about at its heart?
A: It's about the woman you silence to survive — and the woman you unleash when you're finally ready to live. It follows Maris Hartley, a wife and mother who rediscovers her truest self through writing, desire, and the hard-won decision to stop disappearing inside her own life. It’s about longing, loyalty, betrayal, and the fierce act of reclaiming your voice.
Q: What role does Maris's inner voice — her unhinged self — play in the story?
A: Maris’s inner voice is her reluctant co-conspirator... half guardian angel, half reckless imp.
She tries to talk Maris down from the ledges... but sometimes, she’s the one handing her the match.
She’s the voice of reason wrapped in sarcasm, the quicksilver wit cutting through Maris’s spirals, the secret part of her that wants more even while begging for caution.
In many ways, this voice isn’t her enemy or her savior... it’s the real her, the woman who survived, the woman who still believes in hope and pleasure and risk... even when it terrifies her.
Throughout the novel, this voice becomes less about control and more about companionship... the first and fiercest part of Maris to say, you can live through this. You can want more. And you are not alone inside yourself.
Q: What inspired you to write these two pieces together?
A: I wanted to capture a love story that didn’t fit neatly into a box. One that was messy, raw, real — where the silences were as powerful as the words. The letters came naturally, because love doesn’t live in chapters; it lives in stolen moments, in things said too late, and in the ache of what we never dared to say aloud.
Q: If readers take one thing from your work, what do you hope it is?
A: That it’s never too late to choose yourself. That your voice matters, even if it shakes. That you are allowed to want more, to hurt more, to live louder. And that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay when everything — including your own fear — tells you to run.
