About

E. E. Lawson writes emotional, layered fiction about women navigating the world. Her debut novel, Absolution, blends literary suspense and women’s fiction, with a slow-burn mystery at its heart. If you enjoy authors like Kristin Hannah, Diane Chamerlain, or Jodi Picoult—you’ll enjoy her voice and this tale. It’s a dual-timeline novel set in 1980s Chicago and present-day Ohio, centered on a dying woman’s final confession—and her connection to the real-life unsolved case of the 1982 Tylenol murders.

Quiet Creativity—Hibernation Season & Gentle Growth

Winter has a way of softening the world if we let it. Mornings arrive wrapped in gray light. The air feels hushed. Steam curls up from mugs of tea like a small ritual of comfort. Everything seems to move a little more slowly as the world itself is taking a breath and turning inward. We’re taught to resist this. We’re told to push harder. Stay loud. Stay visible. Stay productive. Keep proving that we are moving forward even when our bodies and hearts are quietly asking for rest.
