My Story
'A Mother's Mistakes' Series
​
A mother’s choices don’t end with her—they leave lasting imprints on her children. This deeply personal story follows my emotional journey as the eldest daughter, pushed into adulthood long before I was ready. I wasn’t just a child—I became the caretaker, the mediator, the one who held everything together.
My mother’s parenting style, rooted in her own unresolved pain, forced me to take on roles that no child should bear. Her decisions exposed me to situations that were not only overwhelming, but at times, dangerous. I grew up fast, but not by choice—by necessity.
This honest and introspective narrative explores the lasting impact of emotional parentification, the unspoken expectations placed on daughters, and how I’ve worked to heal while still carrying the weight of my past. It’s a story about the complicated love between mother and daughter—and how I’ve had to redefine who I am beyond the shadow of her mistakes.
If you’ve ever questioned your upbringing, struggled to set boundaries with family, or felt the heavy cost of growing up too soon, this is a story for you. It's about survival, self-discovery, and reclaiming your own path.

How My Mother’s Parenting Shaped My Life: A Daughter’s Journey Through Responsibility, Resentment, and Resilience
My Books
​A Mother's Mistakes Series
Book #1
There’s a moment — quiet and unassuming — when you realize your reflection isn’t just yours anymore. It’s hers. The woman who raised you. The one you swore you’d never become.
I remember standing at the kitchen sink, water running too long, staring through the window as if it might offer forgiveness.
​
My daughter’s laughter echoed in the next room, light and effortless, a sound I both adored and feared. Because it reminded me of what I’d lost — the softness that once lived in me before life hardened it into survival.
​
No one tells you that motherhood can be both love and reckoning. That sometimes, the mirror you avoid is the same one your child learns to fear. And that healing doesn’t come in apologies whispered through tears — it comes in the quiet, stubborn act of showing up again, even when your heart is heavy with mistakes.
​
I used to think my fragility made me weak. Now I understand — it’s what makes me human. And being human means learning to forgive the versions of yourself that didn’t know better.

Rain dripped from the edge of the overpass, each drop echoing like a ticking clock. Detective Rowan Pierce stood beneath it, eyes fixed on the flickering streetlight ahead. Every case had a rhythm — bodies, clues, patterns — but this one pulsed to the beat of her own memories.
Psychological thriller fiction thrives on such chilling moments, and Kathleen Murphy captures them masterfully. The victim’s face was pale, lips curved into an expression that almost looked peaceful. Too peaceful.
Rowan’s gloved hand trembled as she reached for the photograph in the evidence bag — a photo she didn’t remember taking, yet it showed her standing in this very spot weeks ago. The shadows behind her seemed to move.
A Psychological Thriller

A Psychological Thriller
The mirror wasn’t broken — not in the way you’d expect. No cracks, no shatter. Just… movement. Like the reflection was breathing.
Pearl leaned closer, her fingertips grazing the cold glass. For a heartbeat, the world held still — the hum of the fluorescent light, the distant drip of water, even her pulse. Then the reflection blinked. But she hadn’t.
She stumbled back, the air thinning around her. The face staring back wasn’t hers — not completely. Same eyes, same curve of the jaw, but something inside them was alive, whispering memories that didn’t belong to her.
She had spent years learning to trust reality again, to silence the voices that told her the world was made of layers — each one more dangerous than the last. But tonight, the walls seemed thinner. The air heavier. And the voice that once lived only in her nightmares had found its way home.
“You can’t hide from what’s inside the glass,” it murmured.
“Because it remembers you, even when you don’t.”
The mirror rippled again, and for the first time, Pearl wasn’t sure which side she was standing on.
UPCOMING SERIES
When a witch-in-training accidentally enchants an espresso machine, a caffeine-fueled friendship begins.
Luna Fairfax is chaos in heels — part witch, part walking disaster. Mari Thorne is logic incarnate — a caffeine-dependent accountant who doesn’t believe in magic. When their worlds collide over a prophetic latte, the two must navigate love spells gone wrong, sarcastic spirits, and one very judgmental cat to save their small-town café.
As lattes start predicting heartbreak, and ghosts start ordering decaf, Luna and Mari must fix the curse before the entire town’s love life goes up in foam.
The Curse of the Crooked Latte is a hilarious, heartwarming story about friendship, magic, and the joy of imperfection — perfect for fans of Good Omens, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, and Practical Magic.
Because sometimes, the universe doesn’t need saving.
It just needs coffee. ☕✨
