In a world that seems to be getting weirder, more complicated, confusing, and wild, join me in trying to make sense of things through deconstructing and reconstructing fiction.

My work as a researcher, writer, editor, and lecturer gives me a multifaceted view into stories: how we create, consume, and rely on them to survive, but most important of all, how stories help us understand ourselves better.

Sign up for a variety of articles, ranging from blog pieces, to notes, short stories, reviews, and more from me. Use them to explore your own perspectives and share them! It is only through collaboration, exploration, respect, and compassion that we will come to improve ourselves.

See you on the page.
