Bio
I write fiction and poetry that explore longing, emotional depth, and quiet transformation. I’m drawn to light beers, red wine, board games, and slow evenings in Westminster.

Fragments from the Veil — Chapter 2
The walk was short, but long enough. When we arrived at the restaurant, I thought it was plain and unimpressive — just one more locale in the plaza, with tinted windows that concealed the inside. Did I ignore the words that struck like lightning — their urgency — for this? I wondered. I glanced at Kristen, my unaware date — not for this, but for her.

Fragments from the Veil —Chapter 1
I parked but left the car running. It was late summer, and it was still hot outside, even though it was late in the afternoon. I didn't want to become overheated — much less sweat — while I tidied up myself last minute. I had not seen Kristen in eight months, and I didn’t know if I would see her again after tonight, so I wanted to make a good impression.
