The Next Chapter

Unanswered Questions Answered

In The Next Chapter, Michael Reid delivers the raw, unflinching conclusion to his deeply personal My Story series. Following the journey begun in Now You’re Gone, expanded in All I Ever Wanted, and confronted in Crash and Burn, with the supporting poetry book Verses of Desire this final book strips away the last remaining silence. It is not just a continuation—it is the reckoning. Told through an intimate interview-style narrative, The Next Chapter blends memoir, reflection, and creative storytelling to explore the blurred lines between fiction and reality, imagination and memory, love and loss. Reid faces the aftermath of a connection that once defined his world—a relationship imagined, found, and ultimately lost—and asks the questions that were left unsaid. What was real? What was imagined? What still lingers, unfinished and unresolved? Each chapter confronts a different truth: the spark of love, the burden of betrayal, the ache of grief, and the resilience forged in survival. Through searching questions and honest answers, Reid examines the emotional cost of silence, the weight of family betrayal, and the haunting presence of unfinished love. This book is not just about heartbreak—it is about identity, forgiveness, and the courage to tell the truth when it can no longer be hidden. Lyrical yet grounded, vulnerable yet unwavering, The Next Chapter invites readers to step inside the author’s most private thoughts. It is a story for anyone who has ever imagined a future, only to watch it unravel. For those who have loved deeply, lost painfully, and struggled to rebuild. Reid’s final words close not only a series but a chapter of his life—one where love was imagined, found, and lost, but never forgotten. Honest, reflective, and hauntingly resonant, The Next Chapter is both a book and a mirror: a testament to grief, healing, and the enduring power of truth.

Author

Michael Reid is a writer whose work defies simple categorisation. Blending memoir, fiction, and poetry, his books occupy a space where imagination and lived experience intertwine. At the heart of his writing lies an exploration of human connection—the spark of love, the ache of loss, and the quiet resilience found in grief. His My Story series (Now You’re Gone, All I Ever Wanted, Crash and Burn, and The Next Chapter) reflects this signature style, weaving truth and invention into narratives that feel at once personal and universal. Born and raised in the United Kingdom, Reid has built a life shaped by both creativity and resilience. Writing has always been his constant—an outlet where silence can speak and truth can survive. For him, stories are not only entertainment but also a way of making sense of experiences, relationships, and the emotional turning points that shape a life. Beyond his novels, Reid has published poetry collections such as Verses of Desire and ventured into music, transforming his poetry into lyrics that resonate with raw honesty. He is also the founder of Fabled Publishing, a creative brand dedicated to bringing stories, ideas, and voices to life. His work extends across multiple mediums, but the core remains the same: telling stories that linger in the heart long after the final page is turned. When he is not writing, Reid is an avid gamer, mountain biker, foodie, and film enthusiast. He describes himself as someone who values creativity in all its forms, from designing book covers and producing multimedia projects to exploring new ideas that cross traditional boundaries of art and literature. The Next Chapter represents both a literary milestone and a deeply personal reflection. For Reid, it is more than a book—it is a reckoning with memory, imagination, and truth. His work invites readers not only to witness his journey, but also to reflect on their own stories of love, loss, and resilience.
