About Falling Forward

A plucky young woman is suddenly thrown into the secretive world of Asia’s playboys in Postcards, a coffee table novella.

Professionals claw their way through the grime and thirst for blood in Gritty City short stories.

A forest divulges its magic and its memories in Secret Island.

This is FALLING FORWARD—a combined world inspired by unorthodox adventures and people and places I’ve met along the way. The magic and escapism in Secret Island, for example, are directly inspired by my childhood spent in a fishing village surrounded by ghosts, witches, and the love of my large family nestled between the walls of our bamboo home.

FALLING FORWARD is an exploration of memories and what lives within us as we go forward into our imperfect, honest, messy human lives.

I am thrilled to have you along for the ride.
