Locked and Launched

✨ As the year draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the stories we’ve shared, the journeys we’ve taken, and the small moments of magic that have filled our days.

Writing Calling from the Past has been a journey of imagination, emotion, and connection — and I’m so grateful to every reader who joined me along the way.

This Christmas, I hope you find gentle moments, a little light in every story, and the kind of quiet joy that warms the heart. Here’s to stories, memories, and new adventures in the year to come.

💛 With love,
Madellein Jonker

Both ‘Calling from the Past’ and ‘The Hollow Girl’ were born from places of truth… healing… and courage.

Every chapter still carries a heartbeat for me.
Something special is coming for those who’ve walked this journey with me.

Stay close. 😉

👻🖤
There’s a quiet excitement building behind the scenes…💭
I can’t say much yet, but December will bring something beautiful for my readers.
Stay close.👀👣

⚠️ TEASER ALERT ⚠️ BOOK #3

Calling from the Past Series presents:
⏰️THE TICKING ONES🕰

The clocks never stopped.
They just started counting her.

Elise Jacobs thought she’d escaped the haunted echoes of her past — but when she returns to the old Harrow House, time itself begins to fracture.
Mirrors whisper. Floors breathe.
And somewhere beneath the house, a clock that should not exist has started ticking again.

Each tick rewinds the truth.
Each tock steals a piece of her.

Now Elise must face the versions of herself trapped between centuries — and the one she swore never to become.

Because in this house, time doesn’t heal.
It remembers.

Get ready for the TIME of your life as it's RELEASING on 31st JANUARY 2026!

🖤“Whispers from Hollow’s End”🖤

It’s been a little over a month since The Hollow Girl was released… and almost three since Calling from the Past first found its way into readers’ hands. 🩶

Both stories still linger — their voices, their secrets, their pain. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who’s joined this journey through loss, love, and the haunting pull of the past.

Tonight, as the wind hums 🌬 outside and a good cup of coffee warms the room… I’d love to know —

☕ Who’s been your favorite character so far from Calling from the Past or The Hollow Girl?

Was it Grace, Anna, Father Christopher… or someone whose darkness surprised you most?

I’m reading every comment — and maybe, just maybe, the next story will remember your choice. 👀

🎉 Thank you, everyone! 🎉

Calling from the Past: The Hollow Girl has officially launched today, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🖤

To all of you who supported Calling from the Past (Book 1), and to those diving into Grace’s story in Book 2—you make this journey possible.

Tonight, I’m raising a cup of coffee ☕ (and maybe something stronger later 😅) to celebrate. Here’s to chilling nights, haunted pages, and readers who dare to step into the dark with me.

🖤Author’s Note🖤

The Hollow Girl is more than a ghost story. It is also a reflection of a heartbreaking reality that exists in our world every day—child abuse. Grace and Anna’s fictional pain echoes the silent cries of so many children who suffer behind closed doors.

This book is dedicated not only to the victims who never had a voice, but also to the survivors who carry their scars and strength into adulthood. No child should ever endure what Grace and Anna endured.

If you ever witness or suspect abuse—whether physical, emotional, or neglect—please don’t stay silent. Speak up. Tell a teacher, a neighbor, a family member, or go directly to the authorities. One voice, one report, can save a child’s life.

Stories can haunt, but real children need saving. Let us all choose to be the ones who protect, believe, and fight for them.

— Madellein Jonker🩶
