ACTION INCLUDES

After the devastating event she experiences, Simphini Miller unexpectedly meets Matt Grant, 45. Widowed, sophisticated, and quietly enigmatic, he is an international business owner whose own life has been shaped by loss, secrecy, and responsibilities few people could imagine.

And neither of them can walk away.

As their relationship deepens, Sim finds herself pulled into a world of secrets, moral dilemmas, and escalating danger. Powerful individuals hide behind wealth, influence, and respectability.

High-stakes tension escalates when Simphini Miller discovers a possibility that threatens everything; the man she is falling in love with may somehow be connected to the greatest tragedy her family has ever endured…. Matt Grant is overseas in alias on a top-secret espionage mission, is restrained by ‘associates’ of the most ruthless narcotics kingpin, and threatened that in milliseconds, “You will die many moons and beg for dying.”

‘What Remains After’ by Pauline J. Grabia Explores Trauma, Memory, and the Long Road to Healing

WELLAND, Ontario, Canada, May 12, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Released by Tellwell Publishing, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia (ISBN: 978-1834384511) is a literary psychological suspense novel that examines the lasting impact of childhood trauma, the fragility of memory, and the difficult path toward forgiveness and survival.

Image caption: Cover, “What Remains After” by Pauline J. Grabia.

In “What Remains After,” readers meet Beth Clark, a woman returning to her rural Alberta hometown after decades away, following the death of her estranged mother. What begins as a quiet funeral quickly reveals itself to be something far more complicated, as carefully constructed narratives begin to unravel. Inside the abandoned bungalow of her childhood, Beth discovers objects that challenge the sanitized version of her past—forcing her to confront memories of abuse, neglect, and systemic failure.

When Beth’s younger brother is critically injured in a sudden accident, the present collides with the past. As she keeps vigil at his hospital bedside, Beth is drawn back into the defining summer of her youth—a time marked by violence, silence, and the unexpected refuge of a foster family whose quiet compassion offered a glimpse of safety and hope.

Told across dual timelines, “What Remains After” is a deeply reflective novel that explores belief and betrayal, the moral consequences of silence, and the enduring question of what it truly means to forgive. It challenges readers to consider what remains when the truth is finally spoken—and whether healing is possible after profound harm.

Author Pauline J. Grabia is a Canadian novelist whose work centers on trauma, memory, faith, and the complexities of human resilience. Writing under the Stories of Consequence banner, she is committed to telling stories that confront difficult truths without sensationalism while still seeking light and meaning.

Originally conceived as a short story, “What Remains After” evolved into a full-length novel through a deeply personal and cathartic writing process. While not autobiographical, Grabia draws from lived experiences and the stories of others to shape a narrative that speaks to both the devastation of abuse and the possibility of grace and healing.

“I wanted to show that abuse and neglect do not have to be the end,” she explains. “There is hope to be found, even in the darkest times.”

“What Remains After” is now available through major book retailers and online platforms.

Ally Walker, Star of ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ Debuts New Metaphysical Thriller ‘The Light Runner’

LOS ANGELES, Calif., June 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Red Rabbit Press LLC. presents “The Light Runner” (ISBN: 978-1966981060). Ally Walker has captivated audiences with unforgettable roles—from June Stahl in “Sons of Anarchy” to Dr. Sam Waters in “Profiler.” Her versatility has made her a standout presence in film and television, with memorable performances in “Universal Soldier” and “While You Were Sleeping.” After recent appearances in ‘Ghosted, Longmire, and Colony,” Walker now brings her storytelling prowess to the page with her debut novel, “The Light Runner.”

With “The Light Runner,” Walker delivers a metaphysical thriller that bends reality, unravels secrets, and challenges perception.

At Bainbridge Psychiatric Hospital, the lines between truth and illusion are dangerously thin. Dr. Ella Kramer, a psychiatrist haunted by her own past, is assigned to Captain Oliver Haskell, a decorated war hero whose fractured mind may hold the key to solving his wife’s brutal murder. As she delves deeper into his unraveling psyche, she begins to uncover disturbing patterns among the other patients—patterns that suggest Bainbridge is far more than it seems.

Walker’s cinematic storytelling shines through in the novel, earning praise from her peers. Actress Sarah Wayne Callies, “The Walking Dead,” called it “propulsive, thoughtful, incisive—a thriller that stands out in a crowded field.”

A masterful weaving of past and present, actor Tim DeKay “Oppenheimer” described it as “a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the prisons we build for ourselves, both within and without.”

Katey Sagal “Sons of Anarchy, Married with Children.” praised the novel’s immersive storytelling, saying, “The imagery is vivid and other-worldly, and the storytelling makes it impossible to put down. The characters are unique and compelling, making the whole ride fun.”

Walker’s ability to create cinematic storytelling is a standout feature of “The Light Runner.” Robert Davi (Profiler, Die Hard) emphasizes her deep understanding of character and narrative, declaring, “Ally Walker has planted her flag in the crime genre… vivid storytelling, pacing, and character development—true cinematic storytelling.”

Beyond the unraveling mystery, “The Light Runner” bridges psychological suspense with metaphysical intrigue. Christine Lahti (Chicago Hope) calls it “a fantastical page-turner… a thriller that bridges two worlds and begs the question—how will you fight to keep your humanity?”

Walker crafts a thriller that grips, unsettles, and refuses to let go.

“The Light Runner” releases June 6, 2025. For more information, visit https://allywalkerofficial.com/.
