Beyond the Fold
They crossed space to find Haven. They crossed time trying to get home.
An exploratory mission to a distant world uncovers an ancient network capable of crossing distances humanity had only begun to comprehend—and a history with consequences reaching far beyond a single planet. What begins as a journey of discovery becomes a story of lost civilizations, impossible choices, and humanity’s changing place among the stars.
The Beyond the Fold Series
Beginning with Beyond the Fold, the series expands from humanity’s first encounter with an ancient interstellar network into a larger story of exploration, conflict, discovery, and the consequences of opening pathways between worlds.

Memoir
Just One More Day
A Memoir of Falling and Getting Back Up
A candid account of addiction, family, collapse, treatment, relapse, and the difficult work of rebuilding a life. Told with humour and an unwillingness to sanitize the hardest parts, it is ultimately a story not only about falling, but about finding a reason to stand again.

OK I’m Sober, Now What?
Getting sober can be the beginning of recovery. It isn’t the end of the story. This developing nonfiction work looks beyond the immediate crisis toward the harder question: how do you build a life you actually want to remain sober for?
