OFFICIAL LAUNCH // 'BURY THE GARDEN' BY TAHLIA CAMPBELL

Some ghosts are searching for peace. Olive is searching for her past.

Olive doesn’t remember dying – and she doesn’t remember living, either. All she knows is that she’s trapped in a half-life, caught between the world of the living and something far stranger. Alongside fellow ghost Rita, she’s bound to an ancient forest spirit, tasked with recovering stolen tokens of nature in exchange for the chance to live again.

Each mission brings Olive one step closer to feeling human … and further from the truth. Why can’t she remember who she was? What’s really at stake in their bargain with the mysterious, winged spirit known only as Gaia? And what happens to the ghosts who fail?

As whispers from her past begin to surface, Olive must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim a life she no longer remembers – and what she’ll do when she discovers the secrets that have been buried with her.

A hauntingly beautiful tale of memory, magic and second chances.

💡 Writing a Book Isn’t About Inspiration - It’s About Habits 💡

So many people say they want to write a book 'one day.' But here’s the truth: books don’t get written in a single lightning bolt of inspiration. They get written in the quiet, ordinary moments - when you choose to show up and write, even if it’s just for 15 minutes.

Think about it like growing a crop 🌱. You don’t plant a seed and then stand around waiting for it to suddenly appear fully grown. You water it, tend it and give it time.

A book works the same way. A few words today, a page tomorrow, a paragraph next week - it all adds up. Before you know it, you’ll look back and realise you’ve created something far bigger than you thought possible.

So here’s a challenge: instead of waiting for the perfect day, grab 10 minutes and jot down a scene, a story, a paragraph or even a scrappy list of ideas.

That’s how books get written.

Not by waiting - but by starting 📖🤠
