The Road That Forgets
Book 1 of The Liminal Road
Danielle Holloway never wanted to come back to Fossil, Oregon. The town holds memories she’s spent a decade trying to outrun. But on her first night home, a narrow strip of road appears at twilight — shimmering, silent, and impossibly out of place. It vanishes before anyone else can see it, leaving Danielle with a single, unsettling truth: the road reacted to her.
Waylon Moreno, steady and guarded, knows more about the strange phenomenon than he’s willing to admit. He’s spent years keeping people away from the road’s dangers, but Danielle’s presence changes everything. The road appears stronger when she’s near… and it seems to remember her.
As twilight deepens, the road leads them to forgotten places — an abandoned homestead, a cliffside echo of grief, fragments of memory Danielle can’t explain. Each appearance takes something small from her, and each step draws her closer to Waylon in ways neither of them expected.
Together, they uncover a mystery woven through the land’s memory and their own buried wounds. But the road is only beginning to wake… and it wants something from Danielle she isn’t ready to face.
A quiet‑supernatural mystery. A slow‑burn romance. A place that remembers what people forget.

The Liminal Road is changing.
After the events of Book 1, Danielle Holloway can no longer pretend the phenomenon is a trick of memory or light. The road appears sharper now — clearer, louder, and carrying echoes she can’t ignore. Each twilight brings new fragments of truth, and each step reveals pieces of a past she never meant to uncover.
Waylon Moreno has spent years trying to keep the road’s dangers contained, but Danielle’s return has awakened something in the land… and in him. The road remembers him too — and the secret he’s carried alone is beginning to surface.
Together, they follow the road into deeper, more unsettling terrain: places tied not just to forgotten structures, but to the land’s own memory. The echoes grow stronger. The emotional cost grows heavier. And the road begins to reveal that its purpose is far older — and far more personal — than either of them imagined.
Some truths wait in the twilight. Some wounds refuse to stay buried. And the road is remembering.

Book 3 of The Liminal Road
Coming Soon!
The Liminal Road is waking.
After everything the road has shown them — the echoes, the forgotten places, the memories that never belonged to them — Danielle Holloway and Waylon Moreno know the phenomenon is no longer reacting. It’s remembering. And it’s leading them somewhere neither of them has dared to go.
The road appears sharper now, its twilight shimmer carrying a weight that feels older than Fossil itself. Each step brings Danielle closer to the truth she’s avoided for a decade, and each appearance forces Waylon to confront the secret he’s carried alone. The land is no longer whispering. It’s calling.
Together, they follow the road into the heart of the high desert, where memory and geography no longer align, and the past refuses to stay buried. What waits for them is not a destination, but a truth — one tied to the land’s wound, their own buried grief, and the choice that bound their lives long before they understood it.
To heal the road, they must face what they’ve both forgotten. To find their way forward, they must return to where everything broke. Some paths don’t lead away. They lead home.
The Trilogy
Book 1: The Road That Forgets
Danielle Holloway returns to Fossil reluctantly, only to encounter a narrow strip of road that appears at twilight — shimmering, silent, and impossibly out of place. With Waylon Moreno’s cautious help, she begins unraveling the first layer of a mystery tied to forgotten places, buried grief, and the land’s fractured memory.
Book 2: The Road That Remembers
The phenomenon deepens as the road grows sharper, louder, and more insistent. Echoes of the land’s past surface, and Danielle and Waylon are drawn closer to each other — and to the truth the road has been trying to reveal. Their connection strengthens as the road begins to remember what was lost.
Book 3: The Way Back Home
The final secrets of Northridge State Hospital come to light as love, loss, and the dead demand an answer. In this final chapter, the spirits will answer, the silence will break, and Ashgrove will finally be unbound.
The Liminal Road is a quiet‑supernatural trilogy about memory, truth, and the emotional wounds we carry. Set in the high desert around Fossil, Oregon, the series blends atmospheric mystery, slow‑burn romance, and the subtle, unsettling presence of a twilight‑bound road that reacts to human emotion. This is a story about what we bury, what the land remembers, and the paths that lead us back to ourselves.
