In the quiet town of Green Haven, nothing ever happens—until a reporter drops dead in the middle of Hazel’s Café.

Amelia B. Jones, a literal-minded journalist who sees patterns where others see noise, knows it wasn’t just an accident. Her editor wants the story buried, the mayor calls it a tragedy, and the police are quick to close the case. But Amelia can’t ignore the details that don’t fit—or the cryptic phrase Project Hollow Sun that keeps surfacing in whispered conversations and scribbled notes.

With only her notebook, her stubborn curiosity, and Winston P. Finnegan—a sardonic Siamese cat who talks back—Amelia begins unraveling the town’s secrets. But every clue brings her closer to truths someone is desperate to keep hidden. And in Green Haven, even cozy cafés and friendly neighbors can conceal dangerous lies.

“Th(ink) Well is beautiful, layered, comforting, and provoking all at once – which is exactly what great poetry should be. Ashley Baker writes like an old soul that has weathered life’s storms and yet her joy in the Lord is sincere and shines in this collection. The incredible visual art that is woven throughout the book is captivating and adds an imaginative dimension to such thoughtful poetry. The layout of the book and poetry grouped in themes makes this one of the few collections of poetry that feel truly both deeply thoughtful and accessible. “The Harp” is a personal favorite in the book, and I’m thrilled that Th(ink) Well is being released into the world for all to enjoy.”
