I believe stories are essential. They are the tools we use to make sense of the world, to heal, and to connect with one another on the deepest level. After a career built on logic, I found that storytelling was the language of the heart. For me, passion is about breathing life into characters until their struggles feel real, their joys are infectious, and their losses leave an echo. With the upcoming book release of 'Fleeing Oblivion' by Heath Barker, it’s about building worlds that you can get lost in and crafting narratives that explore the tough questions about family, leadership, and our own humanity. A story isn't just an escape; it’s an exploration, and I am dedicated to making that journey an unforgettable one for my readers.
