Headstones (2026)

In the quiet corners of a prairie town, Lena Rosewell makes a living as a funeral musician and dreams of becoming a writer—so she quietly steals the lives of the dead. At every service she plays, she collects the unspoken stories of the departed, then rewrites and publishes them under her own name, feeding the hunger of her stalled creativity. But when a mysterious stranger starts showing up at funerals and taking an unusual interest in her, Lena is forced to face the ethics of her borrowed art. Caught between creative drought and moral reckoning, she must decide if the silence of the plains is worth the cost of her stolen words.
