Stories & Books
Storytelling isn’t just human nature—it’s magic.
For centuries, stories have been how we’ve reached across distance, built understanding, and woven ourselves into the blanket of community.
I write for that purpose: connection.
Each of my stories is an extended hand, an invitation to wander down a new path or revisit familiar memories. Within them are hidden messages waiting to be found, questions meant to spark conversation, and quiet jokes shared between author and reader.
Because in the end, every story is a circle.
Beginning with one voice, and completing itself in the heart of another.

What would you do if you were deep in the wilderness—with nothing but a canoe, your friends, and thirty days ahead of you?
