It really drove home how much reach hateful words still have. They ripple outward, infecting conversations and censoring truth. So remember that next time someone hurls a slur or tells you Charlie Kirk’s a good guy.

For those unfamiliar with where my title “King Tides” came from, the tide when I ran this morning was at over +7 feet, this afternoon it is at almost -2 feet. Extreme highs and lows—King Tides.

Over time, as I grew in the craft of storytelling, I realized my earliest drafts didn't fully do justice to the characters or their journey. So, I went back to the beginning, and gave their story the attention and refinement it deserved.

I write books because I love the stories. I don’t create the characters so much as I meet them. They enter my life and tell me their stories. I merely serve as an intermediary, filling pages with what they share.

Day 4: Enchanted Bookshop

Sorry for the unsteady video but significant progress today. Lots of small details and wiring left. I kind of love it. Also I definitely have a story to write about it.

In my recently published book, Wayfinder, this San Diego building, and this imaginary floor plan served as inspiration for the first building Kellen and Kacey leased for their new startup.

Well shit balls, guys!
I’ve gone and left you hanging again—this time for months! All I can do is apologize and hope you’ll forgive me. I have been busy, if that’s any excuse at all. Here’s a quick update on what I’ve been up to.
