Echoes Are Here

May 1, 2025


We made it.

Echoes of Despair is no longer just a file on my desktop or scribbled notes in the margins of sleepless nights. It’s here. It’s real. It’s alive in the world.

And I’m still trying to catch my breath.

This book—this bleeding, broken, stubborn thing—was born from everything I didn’t say out loud. From the weight of fatherhood. From the guilt of wondering if I was enough. From the midnight questions that hit harder than any demon ever could.

But now… it belongs to you.

The story of Xander Angel isn’t just ink and paper. It’s pain and purpose. It’s a father falling apart because the world won’t give him the peace to grieve or the grace to heal. It’s a man standing on the edge of everything—fatherhood, fear, fate—and whispering,

“I’ll walk through the fire if it brings them home.”

There are monsters in this story.
There are whispers.
There are nightmares that bleed into waking life.
But the scariest thing?

Facing the parts of yourself you buried a long time ago.

Thank you. From the marrow.

To my wife—my ride or die. My demon-hearted queen. You’re in every line of this.
To my kids—you are the why.
To anyone out there who’s still trying to put themselves back together:
