Soul Ascent Psalms
The purpose of this compilation is to provide encouragement and hope to those who read it, but also find the beauty in the literary form of art. There have been countless times in my own life when I needed to hear a word of encouragement, to feel seen and understood, or to find wisdom for navigating life’s challenges. In these psalms, I have poured out my moments of sorrow and hardship, as well as my seasons of joy and gratitude, crafting them into heartfelt expressions of faith. This is my journey, my art—but ultimately, it is all for God. I claim no glory for myself, for it is God who has rescued, provided, and walked with me through every step of my life. In gratitude for all He has done, I offer these psalms back to Him, giving to God what is His: my endless praise and devotion.

Maria ni Mayari: Mga Piling Tula
May mga tema sa mga tula na may pahiwatig ng mga masulong na konteksto. Ngunit lahat ng ito ay nakakubli sa mga salitang kailangang namnamin. Mas matamis ang kahulugan ng mga salita kung ito’y pinag-iisipan.
Kung sa pagbabasa nito ay matutunan mo ring palayain ang iyong sariling damdamin at kaisipan, pagsaluhan natin ang bukangliwayway sa mga dagat ng buwan.

Chaos Concerto
Within these pages, you’ll find stories that touch on delicate threads of the human experience—mental health struggles, the weight of trauma, the shadow of abuse, and the silence of despair. These topics are woven into the narrative with care, but they may stir strong emotions.
If your heart feels heavy as you read, remember to pause, breathe, and care for yourself. You are never alone on this journey—reach out to someone who can help light the way.

Blessed Nest
This book would have been a ghost of a botched dream if it wasn’t for my mother, Edna S. Vergel , a woman of few words, who told me one Saturday night while I was on the verge of putting the pen to rest that I should press on, that perhaps writing is really my thing. Thank you, Ma. You are my light. We’ll see about the writing.

Letters To You (Before I Go To Bed)
Writing has always been a part of me because it calms me and relieves my stress. I remember going to a retreat way back in high school. The retreat master told us that writing a letter should have three parts; Hello, Sorry, and Thank You. It has been my formula to write any letter or even my journal.

Bluer Than Blue: Prose and Poetry
“Bluer Than Blue” is a book that contains prose and poetry about different shades of heartbreak. It’s a tell-all of one’s journey on all kinds of pain in all forms of love. It is a whirlpool of love and despair, of hellos and farewells, of fleeting feelings and lingering regrets. It is a confession of loving but not being loved in return, of carrying a love that we do not have the courage to put into words, of loving only to get our heart broken in the end.
