We were born in skin—
somehow, we made that controversial.

People don't often see the commonality between artists and athletes. In reality, they understand the human body is a tool. Shape, ability, and color are all just variations - customizations if you will - on an object perfected through years of transformation.

Most people don’t stop to think about how insane cameras actually are.
We ripped minerals out of the ground — glass, metal, silicon — and figured out how to trap time.
Moments, frozen forever by hairless apes on a spinning rock, using dust pulled from the same rock they’re standing on.

The body doesn’t just become this. It’s broken and rebuilt a thousand quiet times in rooms no one sees.
Every inch of this is a choice...a hard one...made over and over again.

You guys and gals are out here making this whole author thing feel like a dream—and I’m just trying to soak it all in. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

I’m gearing up to deliver a vampire novel readers can truly sink their teeth into—raw, gritty, and laced with a sharp bite of dark comedy.

When the light is just right... sometimes you get magic.

"Hey, remember this? Yeah, me neither…except I do. A lot. This was the moment I realized something big: you all didn’t just read my book—you launched it. Like a freaking rocket. To #1. In one day.

You can keep your Como.
This is real Italy.

It’s Monday, fuck it, stay in bed. Let the world spin without you for a moment. Wrap yourself in sheets like a second skin, sip coffee slowly, and let your mind wander to places where time doesn’t exist. Today can wait—this, right here, is the art of doing nothing and doing it beautifully.

Back in 2021, I sat down and put pen to paper, not knowing how or why. Ten months later, 220 pages sat...and sat...and sat.

But...as I combed through the pages, time and time again, I realized it was all truth...just me in words. So, I present to you, me on a plate.
