"If the path to heaven was made by abuse, how could I ever want it?" - Asha Harris, The Bones That Speak

There’s a certain silence that lingers in trauma—until it decides to scream.

Welcome to the official blog for The Bones That Speak, my upcoming psychological thriller that dives deep into the darkness we try to bury—and what happens when the past refuses to stay dead.

This isn’t just another murder mystery. The Bones That Speak is about survival. It’s about how secrets twist inside the body like splinters, and how truth—no matter how buried—always finds a way to claw itself free.

What’s It About?

Without giving too much away (because trust me, you’re going to want to feel every twist for yourself), here’s the pulse of the story:

I was there when Charlie died. I remember being chased that night, I tried to report him to the police but they didn’t believe me they let him get away. It’s my fault she’s dead. But the killer is still out there, and he wants me. My name is Asha Harris, I will not be next.

Why This Story?

This book is crafted for young, edgy Christians—and for those who don’t claim the label at all. It’s for anyone navigating the fallout of religious trauma, and for those who may not realize they’re part of faith communities misaligned with the true heart of God.

Because not every horror wears a mask. And not every villain is a stranger.

The Bones That Speak explores the psychological cost of silence—and the courage it takes to speak up and stand for what’s right.

It’s for the ones who’ve ever questioned their own memories. For those who grew up in church homes that didn’t feel safe. For anyone who learned how to hide in plain sight just to survive.

This is a story about reclaiming your voice, redefining your faith, and—above all—getting lost in a hauntingly good book.
