Discover my books and get a glimpse into the stories behind each one.
Pressed Petals is the first book I ever put into the world, representing my essence and the culmination of childhood dreams of becoming an author. Like my later books, this one also began unknowingly; I simply wrote to process and make sense of my emotions and experiences at the time. But the more I wrote, the more my inner guidance came through every word, leading me home to myself. This collection is my personal journey through spiritual awakening, healing through divorce, and the reclamation of my voice and dreams.
By choosing to leave an unfulfilling marriage, I ultimately chose myself. This book captures grief, transformation, the courage to follow your dreams, and rebuild a life on your own terms. Metaphorically, it's the song of a bird escaping a confined cage, learning to take up space, and fly solo.
For anyone navigating heartbreak or major life change, Pressed Petals is a mirror, a friend, and a reminder: your story is just beginning.
Hope and Other Beautiful Things began as a small chapbook contest entry that got rejected. Instead of scrapping it, I planted the rough draft as a seed and watered my dream. Over time, it grew into a full-length collection exploring hope, the wonder of life, and the courage it takes to believe in yourself, proving that with perspective and dedication, even heartbreak can blossom into beauty, and that believing in something beautiful is never a waste of time. And yes—I even published the official rejection letter.These poems shimmer with evocative language exploring the quiet magic of everyday life, the courage it takes to stay open, and the rebellious act of believing in yourself. For anyone who needs a reminder that vulnerability is strength, dreams matter, and light blooms in the cracks—this book is for you. This is publishing the proof of hope. This is breathing life into a dream. This is for the fireflies: the ones still hoping, still trying, still believing...just enough to keep going.
What if love could be summoned and the words you write could shape destiny? From August to Aquarius, my third book, is a memoir in verse that reads like a romance novel: a spellbinding, sensory journey through healing and the awakening of a bond that spans lifetimes.
I never set out to write a book about love, but a note I wrote describing my ideal connection grew into a poem, manifested a person (right down to his sun sign & preference for hazelnut coffee), and expanded into this book. It's the product of almost four years of healing and reflection, exploring the transformative power of conscious connection, one that feels spiritual and otherworldly. It's the story of what happens after we've accepted our own love and then allow another to meet us there as a reflection of all that we already are. Whether you love or hate poetry, whether you're single or in a relationship, or whether you're a hopeful romantic or cynical and ambivalent about love, this book is for everyone.
Lush, intimate, and immersive, this genre-breaking book is for readers of magical realism and memoir, romance and metaphysics, and especially for those skeptical of poetry. From August to Aquarius weaves these themes into an evocative true story of vulnerability, destiny, and devotion, sure to captivate readers with its mysterious, evolving narrative, culminating in a turn of events even I myself never saw coming.
