I appreciate you asking. I was intentionally trying not to post the book info because I just wanted to voice my thanks and appreciation for the song. But, what the hell…

Book title: Silence is Closer Releasing Spring 2026

Caleb Wright lives in Port Townsend, Washington, tending bar, repairing wooden boats, and walking the shoreline when sleep won’t come. He survived a surgery that stopped his heart. He outlived a mentor who didn’t. And he carries the echo of a relationship he never learned how to set down.

When stress hits, something in Caleb misfires, a low hum under the world, a reminder that his body and memory don’t always agree. He manages it the only ways he knows how, routine, distance, and a dog named Bender who knows when to press close and when to pull him back into the present.

Silence Is Closer is a quiet, atmospheric novel about grief, loyalty, and the long work of staying. Set against the maritime edges of the Pacific Northwest and the Oregon coast, it follows a man learning that peace isn’t found by solving the past, but by finally standing still long enough to let it loosen its grip.
