What makes you pick up a book: an intriguing cover, a great title, or a strong recommendation?

Father Rousseau runs St. Joseph’s & carries a dark secret. His bond with Nick could fracture when the truth surfaces, & visions of Mary refuse to let him rest.

To influence the world, stop trying to control it.
To change others, stop fleeing from yourself.

Before you give yourself over to a political or religious movement, consider:

Ideology demands obedience, not awareness.

If the movement becomes a dominant force, the true believers become the new enforcers.

The danger isn’t in being “anti-woke” or “anti-conservative.” It’s in letting someone else’s language replace your own thinking.

Sometimes you stand next to something so old and ancient that you wonder at what it has witnessed.

You do not always meet them in bright rooms. Sometimes it is a late conversation, a sharp truth, or a moment you did not plan. #FoundFamily #Belonging #HumanExperience

A real tribe will not flinch at your scars. They recognize the shape of survival because they carry their own. #Healing #Connection #SharedStories

The wrong crowd will clap for your mask and ignore your voice. They like you quiet and agreeable. That is not a tribe. That is a cage. #SelfWorth #Authenticity #Boundaries

As I’m formatting my new book, I keep finding errors. A character’s last name changed halfway through the story.

And NO, I do NOT want anyone's help editing or formatting.
