Writing is a constant evolution—learning what works, learning what doesn’t. This website gives me an avenue to explore ideas while working on my next project. Besides expressing my love of nature and the great outdoors, I use this space to learn, grow, and create. One of my goals is to share more about the writing process and what I’m working on next—the posts below were written for just that purpose.

What’s Next?
Currently I’m at work on my first novel. I’m very excited to embark on this new journey and bring this story to life. I hope to have it released sometime in 2026, but we will see! Without giving too much away, it’s a story about a twelve-year old boy who discovers he has a special ability that comes and goes, for reasons he can’t quite understand. His journey of self-discovery eventually reveals the secret behind it… and the truth that some secrets don’t need to be shared. I can’t wait to share it with you!
