Creating Imaginative Worlds with Writing
Watching my wife face discrimination and disrespect in the workplace has become a daily weight I carry. What some people dismiss as “just a job” has taken a real toll on her — and on our family. This is what it feels like to watch someone you love walk into a toxic environment every day.

My writing journey continues every day. I’m at a strange point right now: I’m writing regularly, publishing in different genres and… Continue reading Publishing Journey: Evolving as a Writer with Technology

I’m currently watching it on… Continue reading Gilead, Dystopia, and the Slow Boil of Control
