These works are a combination of self-published books and books completed with small publishers. I’ll be honest – some of these were experiments in learning – to write, to format, to publish. They aren’t all the best, most amazing things that have ever been written. Some I’m super proud of and some are … well, part of the learning process. However, each one taught me more about how to be the writer I want to be. Moreover, I hope that they each have at least a few small gems in them that touch someone in a small way. I know that as a reader I sometimes find the best lines in works that otherwise might be unremarkable. With each new title, I aim to hone in even more on my niche (writing at the intersection of psychology and creativity, helping people improve their lives through art, writing, and creativity.)
