Stories where hope is earned.

THE CURRENT

Some stories end on the final page. Others keep moving.

Weathered wooden boat on the river in The Ash and the RoseWelcome to The Current — a place for readers who want to travel a little farther beyond the books.

Here I’ll share pieces of the journey that don’t always belong between the covers: thoughts behind the stories, glimpses of works in progress, early announcements, occasional reflections on life and writing, and a few surprises along the way.

No algorithms. No endless feed.

Just stories, conversations, and the occasional reason to wonder what’s coming around the bend.

What Flows Through The Current?

Behind the Story

Discover where characters, places, ideas, and seemingly insignificant details came from—without spoiling what lies ahead.

From My Writing Desk

Updates on what I’m writing, where the next story is taking me, and occasional glimpses at the process behind creating it.

First to Know

Cover reveals, release dates, new books, events, and important announcements will reach The Current before they reach the wider world.

Something Worth Carrying

Occasional thoughts about stories, people, choices, music, books, food, life—and the questions I haven’t quite figured out yet.

A note from me…

When I began writing fiction seriously, I expected to create stories.

I didn’t expect the stories to change me.

Somewhere along the way, I discovered that the moments I enjoyed most weren’t necessarily the battles, mysteries, or revelations. They were the questions hiding beneath them.

Why do good people make bad choices?

How much of who we become was decided before we arrived?

When does loyalty become fear?

Can kindness actually change what happens next?

And perhaps the question that follows me most:

What will we pass on?

The Current is where I’d like those conversations to continue.

I’ll share what’s happening with my books, of course. But I’d also like this to become somewhere we can occasionally step away from the noise, talk about stories and life, and perhaps leave with something worth thinking about.

Thank you for being here.

From Book 1

Palace gates covered with red ribbons in The Ash and the Rose

A question I’ve been thinking about lately:
When does protecting someone become deciding for them?
