You don’t have to be fearless to keep moving — just brave enough to begin.
She used to ride on airplanes.
She used to speak to crowds, lead teams, and walk through the world without fear.
Then one day, everything changed.
An ordinary afternoon turned into panic.
A safe space became a cage.
And the woman who once felt unstoppable suddenly couldn’t step outside her own front door.
In I Used to Ride on Airplanes, K.S. Walters writes with unflinching honesty about living with agoraphobia, anxiety, panic, and depression — and what it means to rebuild a life from the inside out.
Through darkness, fear, and fragile hope, she shows that healing isn’t about “getting back” to who you were — it’s about learning to move forward, even when you’re trembling.
Raw. Honest. Hopeful.
This is not a story about perfection — it’s a story about persistence.
About falling apart and showing up anyway.
About discovering that courage isn’t found in the air —
It’s found in every breath that keeps you here.
K.S. Walters writes from lived experience with agoraphobia, anxiety, panic, and depression. After spending more than twenty years in the hospitality industry—speaking to crowds, managing teams, and living on the move—her world suddenly grew small.
Now, through raw honesty and hope, she shares what it means to rebuild life one breath, one heartbeat, and one step at a time.
Her writing reminds us that healing doesn’t mean going back.
It means learning to keep going—scared, human, and brave.
Book 2:
At St. Brigid’s Reform Home in South Dakota, they buried their secrets in silence. Now they’re clawing their way back out…
A letter arrives in Lena’s cell, echoing the one that started it all:
“Would you rather fade into silence… or help us make them scream?”
From within prison walls, Lena becomes the unexpected mentor to a new pair of killers—twins who survived St. Brigid’s and escaped into shadow. Their victims? The priests and guards who once carried out brutal “penance rituals” in the name of salvation.
As FBI profiler Dr. Sam Sinha and Detective Jack Mitchell launch a newly formed federal task force, the killings grow more theatrical—each act of vengeance soaked in symbolism, scripture, and pain.
Lena claims she’s only observing.
But the twins call her their inspiration.
And the whispers from the past are growing louder…
