“I have sailed my broken ship into the worst of storms, intent on capsizing my vessel, and this spark of hope has so stubbornly refused to drown, for hope has never been one to let the captain go down with the ship.” (From The Ember Book)

At its core, The Ember is a poetry and prose book about hope.

Following in the emotionally raw footsteps of Ryan Donnelly’s previous book the revised and expanded edition of conversations with ghosts, The Ember continues the authors healing and transformational journey using writing as the vessel to his next destination.

The Ember holds moments of faith, gratitude, loss, reflection, and the deep musings of an INFJ.

This is a book of poetry and prose for anyone who connects with the importance of constant self-reflection, the desire to connect with their faith on a deeper level, and the power that gratitude has to impact your life in an incredible way.

We all have an ember of hope that rests within us, that pushes us through our most difficult of times, and in his latest book, Ryan Donnelly celebrates this little spark of hope through an authentic essay that can be defined as a snapshot of the authors current headspace.

REVIEWS

“This book is so real and heartfelt. The world is so full of fake and this book isn’t. This book is the truth about real love loss faith and hope. Get a copy and get one for a friend too.”

“The Ember is a great book of poetry that takes the reader on a journey of self reflection, faith and hope. Ryan Donnelly brings you into his world full of hurt, brokenness and at times confusion, but uses all that as a form of growth to persevere. He has an awesome way of turning all that into beauty despite the dark times he has been through. Very articulate writing with creative symbolism that many can relate too. If you are looking for a hopeful outlook in this often dark world we live in, The Ember just might provide that light you are looking for. Very enjoyable read.” 

“Awesome!”

“i know, deep down, that i am not unloveable. i know that somewhere out there is another beautiful soul walking around broken, having conversations with ghosts.” (From conversations with ghosts Book)

conversations with ghosts is a poetry and prose book about heartache. It is the raw emotional place that we find ourselves in when we find ourselves alone once again.

In this revised and expanded edition of Conversations With Ghosts by Ryan Donnelly, readers are once again welcomed into a great time of transition for the author. A new forward and afterword added by the author offer some further insights into the meaning and importance of such a personal book about the complex effect that love and loss can have on the heart and soul.

Conversations With Ghosts holds moments of heartache, heartbreak, the passing of time, the perils of taking a chance on love, and ultimately, the power to be found in never giving up on hope.

It is a book of poetry and prose meant for anyone trying to find a way to say something that matters to those who are no longer there to listen anymore. It is an emotionally-charged essay on the addiction to love and the brutal hangover that it leaves behind in its wake. It is a raw and honest look at the heart of an author who has spent a lifetime checking into different forms of emotional rehab.

Through his words and continued reflection on the familiar pain of losing those he has ever loved so dearly, Conversations With Ghosts is a love letter of sorts, sent out to a life that no longer exists, to lovers who have moved on, and to an impersonal universe that doesn’t like to pull any punches.

Take the journey into a book that is both a middle finger and a ‘thank you’ to love and hope.
