DALLAS FALLS PREY

A Mother’s Tribute to Her Son’s Remarkable Journey 💔✨

This book is more than a story—it’s a piece of my heart.
Dallas Falls Prey is a deeply personal and unforgettable tribute to the life, strength, and spirit of my beloved son, Dallas Massey.

Dallas was not just my child—he was a brilliant thinker, a passionate writer, and a warrior who faced Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy with unmatched courage. From the moment he was diagnosed, his life became a battle not just with a disease, but against every limitation it tried to place on him.

But Dallas refused to be defined by it. His body may have grown weaker, but his mind soared with imagination, purpose, and strength. Over four powerful years, he wrote the entire Fall Prey trilogy—a gripping and intelligent series that revealed his gift for storytelling and his fierce determination to leave something lasting behind.

This book honors Dallas’s life—his struggles, his dreams, his humor, and his heart. It’s a celebration of the young man who turned pain into purpose, and whose voice continues to inspire even in his absence.

I share this story not only as a mother who misses her son every day, but as a woman who witnessed firsthand the beauty, brilliance, and bravery he carried until his final breath.

May his words live on. May his story inspire. And may his light never fade. 💛

Grandma Gerties
Easter Egg Hunt Adventure

A Daughter’s Loving Tribute to a Mother’s Legacy 🐣💛

This book is my heartfelt tribute to my beautiful mother—the woman whose love, laughter, and quiet strength shaped my life in the most extraordinary ways.

Grandma Gertie’s Easter Egg Hunt Adventure isn’t just a story—it’s a piece of my soul. Inspired by the real-life moments we shared, it captures the simple magic of childhood, the warmth of a grandmother’s embrace, and the joy of family traditions that linger in the heart long after the day has passed.

Through every colorful page, I’ve tried to honor the bedtime stories, the soft-spoken wisdom, the playful laughter, and the deep love that my mother poured into every moment with her grandchildren.

It’s my hope that families everywhere will feel that same love as they read this book together—and that the memory of Grandma Gertie lives on in every smile, every giggle, and every Easter egg found.

With all my love,
Cindy Rambo
