"Welcome to my corner of the literary world where I am deeply committed to dissecting the universal language of subtext and the joy born from the mundane. Using words to build a ranch-style home for all the proverbial misfit toys I've collected along the way, I aim to construct stories that resonate with readers who feel misplaced."
