My Novel Died in the Query Trenches, So What’s Next?
At the beginning of last year, I attempted to query a speculative novel. The story was queer and discussed themes of depression and isolation. By the time I went through my final reread, I thought for sure this would be the project that’d land me a literary agent.

Preservation for Eternal Impact
It is easy to feel as though most of what is said disappears. Words are spoken, written, posted, argued over, and then quickly buried beneath the next wave of noise. Attention moves on.

When the River Forgot His Name
Everyone in the village said the river was alive. It whispered at night, shimmered like it was breathing, and remembered things people tried to forget. Aarav had grown up listening to those whispers. As a child, he sat on its muddy bank every evening, tossing stones and pretending the ripples were answers to questions he never spoke aloud.
