  Emily Johnson thought she had learned how to live without feeling too much. Silence became her comfort, distance became her safety, and the past was something carefully sealed away, untouched and unnamed. Until one night, she follows a quiet restlessness into a place that should not exist—a hidden library where stories are not read but lived, and where every book holds a feeling someone once tried to forget. Inside, emotions are no longer distant memories; they are immediate, raw, and impossible to ignore. A heartbreak that isn’t hers yet feels like it is, a longing that refuses to fade, and a truth she can no longer escape begin to reshape everything she thought she understood about herself. 
  As Emily goes deeper, the line between who she is and what she feels starts to blur, pulling her into experiences that feel more real than her own life. But the deeper she goes, the more dangerous it becomes, because some feelings are not meant to be revisited, and some stories don’t let you leave once you’ve stepped inside. This is a hauntingly romantic psychological journey where pain becomes connection, where vulnerability becomes strength, and where love might be the only way back. 
  🎧 Press play and let yourself feel what she tried so hard to forget.

  Little information survives on Catherine’s life. 
   
  She was born Amy Catherine Robbins in 1872. 
   
  In about 1892 she was a student in a biology cramming class where the teacher was H G Wells.  Though married he was quickly attracted to his student and within a short time they were living together in Woking, Surrey.  He then divorced his first wife and married Catherine in October 1895 at St Pancras registery office. 
     
  In the early years they were poor to the point that they could not afford to start a family.  When they did they had two children; Philip in 1901 and Frank two years later. 
   
  For much of her life she seemed to pursue other interests, being a mother, a gardener, running much of her husband’s business affairs and this seemed to leave little time for her own literary pursuits.  She published little during her lifetime apart from a few poems and some short stories.  Indeed her prodigiously talented husband even referred to her as ‘Jane’ and soon all around her did too, her writing life seemingly in another personality far, far away.   
   
  By the mid 20’s she was ill with cancer and succumbed to its advance in 1927. 
   
  Wells, although wayward and promiscuous during much of the marriage, now attempted to put his wife’s literary merits into book form and published ‘The Book of Catherine Wells’, a collection of short stories and poems.

  Altar of Ashes, a debut novel by a respected author of non-fiction, opens with two hunters witnessing a horror in the backwoods of Indiana: the rite of sati, with the bride on the funeral pyre a 10-year-old girl. The book, which pokes a multicultural hornet’s nest, was launched at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair. The inciting incident draws the local prosecutor into a spectacular case revolving around religious toleration and cultural bigotry, which sweeps the town into a vortex of national publicity. His opponent in the courtroom an African-American giant of legal repute. The case is subsumed in the larger zeitgeist of American cultural confrontation, impelled toward its surprising resolution. It’s been described by critics such Lily Andrews of Reader Views as, “A thriller that will unsettle your expectations at every turn. Westrate has a deep understanding of oppressive cultural practices and deals with them excellently here. With immaculate prose and an almost undemanding commitment to unadorned lucidity, he manages to steal your breath and capture your heart. The book leaves you empowered and enlightened as it incessantly punctures a foreign custom that is illegal in the United States. Brilliant with detail and palpitating with suspense, Altar of Ashes delivers a knuckle-hard plotline with an unforgettable set of characters.” Diane Donovan, senior reviewer for Midwest Book Review, said “Bruce Westrate moves his story from a murder mystery to a legal encounter that embraces some of the undercurrents of adversity and prejudice in America today . . . he shatters emotions and preconceptions of what makes for good and bad legal precedents and how the past reaches out to influence present-day decisions. [Readers] will relish the questions and conundrums in Altar of Ashes, which ignites a sense of shame and revelation in the protagonist after the outcome is revealed.”
