Don't Buy My Book
My book-baby A few people have asked about my book-baby, but I've generally been cagey on the details. This is partly because I don't want to spam you lovely lot.

My writing felt private, or at least it wanted to stay private until I knew it was "good enough."

The abstract portrayal of his innate compass of emotions unleashes his greatest creations.
