*Note: Some explicit material*
Blurb: A lifetime of love; lost and found.
Across the seasons of her life and career, our heroine loves, leaves, and is loved in turn: a childhood sweetheart, a husband, and Dylan – a man she adored.
When Dylan makes a surprise visit, the past returns in vivid detail. When that past is re-lived for one night, it changes, yet again, the course of an eternal love that always finds a way back.
A short novel (novella) by K.C. Mendan, downloadable as an ebook (epub) for E-Readers.
Blurb: When Agnes relocates with her family to be nearer to her husband’s mother, life in the regional community leaves her feeling unsettled and alone. Seeking comfort and purpose, she forms a committee to establish a kindergarten for local families.
Through setbacks, small triumphs, and the gentle companionship of the group, Agnes slowly rediscovers connection. She finds peace and a different rhythm in new pastimes. But will these changes be enough for Agnes to release the past that still holds her?
Our Founder
K.C. Mendan
K.C. Mendan has been writing since childhood, inspired early on by the Anne of Green Gables series to see her own work in print. Though her first submissions to magazines like Australia’s New Idea were unsuccessful, she continued writing for enjoyment, later experimenting with playwriting in secondary college, where one of her plays was staged and published in the student magazine Inscape.
Kathleen then turned her creative focus to film, intending for it to be the focus of her university study, but she shifted directions after lecturers advised her to gain more life experience.
During a seven-month family trip to Germany in 2022, she returned to writing, and in 2025 founded The Word Corner.
Believing stories to be both refuge and connection, she has long found writing therapeutic - especially in moments of loneliness - and now hopes her work and The Word Corner will offer others a place of solace, connection, and self-expression.
