I took the journal from him and proceeded to tear out page after page. I crumpled them and threw them on the floor. Jordan protested. I told him he did not have to live my pain through my writing. I had done it, and once was enough!
“The Arcadia Project: The Mysterious Disappearance of Jillienne Landon” by Juliana Andrew is an emotionally gripping story that delves deep into love, loss, and the haunting questions left behind when someone you love simply vanishes. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Juliana Andrew resides on a secluded property along the Granby River in southwestern British Columbia, where she lives with her husband, Roy. A former Long Term Care Aide, she finds fulfillment in gardening, painting, family gatherings, and outings. Her vivid imagination, fueled by a love for romance, mysteries, and the dream world, inspires her creative work. In 2012, she embarked on her lifelong dream of writing, leading to the publication of her debut novel, Vienna, in 2013 under the pseudonym Juli Ana Andrew. She has since published four additional novels under her full name, Juliana Andrew, focusing on genres of romance, intrigue, and mystery.
Her writing career faced a major interruption in May 2018 when flooding destroyed her home, necessitating a rebuilding process that put her work on hold. Despite this, she continues to develop three novels, with hopes of completing one by spring 2019. When not writing, Juliana enjoys spending time with her family, tending her garden, or painting, embracing the peaceful surroundings of her riverside home.
Juliana’s inspiration often stems from personal experiences and dreams. In spring 2016, she awoke from a tearful dream that formed the basis for her novel The Arcadia Project. The project was paused in fall 2016 when Roy was diagnosed with cancer, prompting her to prioritize his care. She resumed writing in spring 2017, infusing her work with a heightened awareness of illness. Tragically, Roy passed away on April 17, 2019, leaving a profound impact on her life and storytelling.
In “The Arcadia Project: The Mysterious Disappearance of Jillienne Landon,” Jordan Landon’s life seems picture-perfect until the day he returns home to find a heartbreaking note from his wife, Jillienne. Her message is short, emotional, and final—she has to go away, and it would be useless for him to try to find her. The note shatters his world, and her disappearance, coming just one day before their thirty-first wedding anniversary, leaves Jordan lost in a fog of grief and confusion.
Two years pass, and the silence surrounding Jillienne’s disappearance is deafening. Desperate for peace of mind, Jordan seeks help from Virginia Teal, a therapist who gently helps him navigate the guilt, sadness, and unanswered questions that haunt him. What begins as therapy evolves into a meaningful friendship, offering Jordan a fragile thread of comfort. Yet, even with her support, the emptiness lingers—Jillienne’s absence is a shadow that refuses to fade.
In time, another woman enters Jordan’s life and falls deeply in love with him. But just as life seems to offer him a second chance at happiness, things spiral out of control when he rejects her love. His inability to move on from Jillienne binds him to the past, creating a painful tension between healing and loyalty, hope and despair.
Each day becomes a battle for Jordan—a routine of marking an “X” on the calendar to count the passing time, taking one step forward and two steps back. Juliana Andrew masterfully captures the torment of a man caught between memory and mystery. “The Arcadia Project” isn’t just a story of a missing woman—it’s a haunting exploration of devotion, grief, and the lengths to which love will hold us, even when all else is lost. Readers will find themselves asking the same haunting question that echoes through Jordan’s heart: Where is Jillienne?
