Ma Ingalls silhouette. Sacramental Gothic interior. I write novels with structure and shadow. Education, faith, curated intuition. Sometimes cats. I’m not the priest. I’m the sacristan—entrusted, offstage, and right more often than I’m allowed to say.
What I write. How I got there. And do any of us really know what we're doing in indie publishing these days? open.substack.com/pub/notthatc...

Up too late contemplating mystics (seriously, why do I do this?)
Woke up to Zelda—the clowder matriarch—staring at me from the floor. Much judgment.
Three other cats volunteered to pay the cat tax. But it’s her under-bed time. And this was about Zelda.

If, while the world is on fire, you’re writing in the margins, dreaming sideways, or building something weird and true— I parallel play alongside you.
To those fighting the good fight so our dream worlds can someday be reality: I salute you. And thank you.

Not new to writing, just new to saying it out loud over here. Literature, education, tone discipline. I’m watching. I’m writing. Say something true.
