The Conversation Begins Soon

6/15/2026

Every book leaves something behind.

A question.
An image.
A detail that refuses to let go. 

The Book Nook was created as a place for those lingering conversations—the ones that begin after the reading is done.

Here you’ll find discussions inspired by books, writing, research, and the unexpected paths stories take long before they reach the page. Along the way, I’ll occasionally share photos from my travels, notes from my journals, discoveries from the archives, and pieces of the research that shaped WARD and future projects.

Some conversations will explore storytelling and craft. Others will wander through forgotten records, historic places, family mysteries, and the moments that changed the course of a search.

The first discussion will arrive shortly after the launch of WARD.

Until then, I invite you to subscribe to Craft & Conversation below.

Our first conversation will explore a question that occupied me throughout the writing of WARD.

How much can be left unsaid before a reader feels abandoned rather than trusted?
​

I hope you’ll join us.

    ​Every archive contains two stories: the one preserved in the records and the one hidden between them.
