During this limited-time event, readers worldwide can download both e-books at no cost, offering an opportunity to engage with Francis’s raw, introspective, and universally resonant poetry.  

Sailing in Dark Waters: A poignant exploration of mental health, faith, and the human experience, Sailing in Dark Waters is a collection of free verse poems that captivate and provoke thought. Autobiographical pieces like “Love Won and Lost” and “Once, Twice, Thrice”—the latter recounting Francis’s own suicide attempt—offer an unflinching look at personal struggles. Written with accessibility in mind, these beautifully crafted poems carry a rhythmic pulse that speaks to readers from all walks of life, making it a must-read for anyone seeking connection through art.  

The Sword You Left Behind: Born from the grief of losing his father, Jimmy, to cancer, The Sword You Left Behind is a fierce blend of poetry and prose that cuts deep. Forged in the crucible of Francis’s decade-long experience as a jailer and his battles with depression, this collection is a tribute to his father’s enduring legacy. It wrestles with rage, heartbreak, and mental health struggles while offering a lifeline to those grappling with loss or isolation. Raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic, this book is for warriors—those who face life’s darkest moments and choose to rise.  

“I wrote these books to honor my truth, my father’s spirit, and everyone fighting their own battles,” said Jordan Francis. “This promotion is my way of sharing that hope and resilience with as many people as possible.”
