Welcome and thank you for stopping by. Whatever your reasons for looking me up I hope you find what you’re looking and maybe find something you didn’t know you were looking for. My writing, yoga, and side projects are all pieces of my whole that I’d like to share. Delve into any part if you’d like to learn more.

Book 1 of The Determined World series
The centuries long cycle of fighting and entrenchment between the Kingdom of Garinn and the Council of the Tokkin is about to be broken by a massive Tokkin assault. The devastating aftermath will plant the fear of chaos and that weakness is just what the victor requires. The course of the continent will shift as unforeseen advancements will uproot the established order. The fractured old ways are a small obstacle against the certainty the victor offers.
Talphi is born into this rapidly changing world. He is lucky enough to be able to take advantage of the changes. But as he learns, Talphi will find himself at odds with the certainties that surround his education. His beliefs will clash with the weight of the authorities and Talphi will have to decide the worth of his belief. How far must he go to follow his own path?
