I make, shape, and bring meaningful work into the world—my own and other people’s—across books, audio, plays, and storytelling. I’m especially drawn to stories with emotional depth and spiritual curiosity that explore the inner world, mystery, hidden histories, and the ways we make meaning in our lives.
