The Bonds That Shape Us, Rickey Ward presents five powerful and haunting short stories exploring the fragile, complicated threads that tie people together. These are not gentle bonds.

Inside these pages, you will find: The Owlmaker–A boy obsessed with owls becomes the only friend of a classmate whose quiet world hides something darker than anyone imagined.

While I Breathe, I Hope is a raw, unflinching poetry collection that speaks directly to those navigating pain, survival, identity, and growth. Written by Rickey Ward, these poems are deeply personal reflections shaped by trauma, neurodivergence, healing, and the daily battle to keep going. With clarity, grit, and vulnerability, Ward explores what it means to live with invisible wounds, to carry hope through hopelessness, and to set boundaries in a world that punishes the soft-hearted.
