With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work.

and carry the plans drafted on the hard,
but against lightning, hurricanes and hail,

Yes, its hull leaks and the rudder is kinked,
and spittle keeps blowing through the porthole,
but just when you think it’s about to sink,

but in time hands spin, seasons change,
all bringing into view

silence

How could in all my plodding of these streets,

And never knew that by keeping my feet,
I was walking past Sanctuary’s door?
But today, up there on the old town road,
I came upon a sign, don’t know how new.
It called me down a path I never toed,
And without Moment’s pause, away I flew.
