Abduction of Will

A story for young hearts, born from a journey no child should ever face.

Princess Cypress: The Journey — A Fairytale Born from Truth is the completed children's companion to the upcoming novel Abduction of Will. This site is the bridge between the two worlds: the symbolic fairy tale available now and the deeper adult story still to come.

The goal is to help adults recognize the children's book for what it is, understand the emotional truth beneath it, and look forward to the release of the novel without spoiling the full story.

Author's Note

Every story begins somewhere. This one began with real people who taught me about courage, survival, and the power of hope.

While this book is written for children, its heart comes from a much deeper place — a world where finding your way home can be the hardest journey of all.

One day soon, I'll share the full story that inspired this tale. Until then, I hope you enjoy this gentler version of a much bigger truth.

For Adults

The children's book is meant to be a safe symbolic entry point into a much darker emotional landscape. Adults are meant to notice the echoes: separation, danger, captivity, grief, survival, and the search for a way back.

What to notice

  • The crooked path as dangerous false promise.
  • The land of the tricky monkeys as rule-bound exploitation and system failure.
  • The Queen, Skylark, and the rescue journey as the emotional heart of the companion link.
  • The Seer and the return journey as hope, cost, and hard truth.

Release timeline

The novel release date is still to be announced. This page exists now so adults can understand the relationship between the books and follow the path as the wider project moves toward public launch.

A Note for Adult Readers

This children's story is a symbolic companion to my upcoming novel, Abduction of Will.

The characters and events in this book reflect real struggles faced by people who are lost, overlooked, or fighting their way back to themselves.

This version is written for young readers — gentle, imaginative, and safe — but the themes originate from a much more complex reality.

The full story behind these symbols will be told in the novel, Abduction of Will.

Thank you for supporting both journeys.
