Simple. Honest. True.

Before the book reaches your hands, there’s a story behind the story. Here, I share that part.

This is where I talk about the characters who keep me up at night—their fears, their flaws, their quiet courage. It’s where I explore the relationships that shape them, the choices they make, and the truths they carry. Sometimes I write about what inspired a scene, a line, a moment. Sometimes I write about what it cost me to write it.

Books are my life. Stories are how I explore the world—by reading, by writing, by stepping into another’s shoes. I discover how they see, how they hurt, how they hope. I feel pain that isn’t mine and walk away with a deeper respect for how wonderfully different we all are. My books help me learn. They help me understand.

These emotions—these thoughts—have always been private. This is the first time I’m sharing a deeper part of myself with the world. It’s not easy. But in a world that feels increasingly distant, maybe this kind of honesty can help—just a little—to bridge the space between us.

You’ll find thoughts on love, silence, healing, and the kind of strength that doesn’t shout. You’ll find glimpses of me—how I write, why I write, and what I hope you feel when you read.

This blog is a look beneath the pages. It’s the breath before the words. I’m glad you’re here.
