A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR


Welcome to my world of storytelling! As an Idaho native born in Boise, I've always been captivated by the power of words. From the days of handwriting short fantasy stories and sketching intricate maps as a kid, I dreamed of creating worlds that spark imagination and connection. This book is a culmination of those dreams, a dark, alternate version of Boise, Idaho, that intertwines real world issues with universal themes of loneliness and resilience. While some themes may be intense, my hope is that the story resonates with you in some way. Even if one person finds connection or solace within these pages, I'll consider this journey a success. Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. It's been a labor of love, years in the making, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

AUTHOR CAREER BIOGRAPHY


An Idaho native with a passion for storytelling, I've been writing since childhood, entering my first poetry and short story contest at the age of 11. Growing up, I spent countless hours crafting short fantasy tales and designing detailed maps of imaginary worlds. Before diving into the world of publishing, I pursued a variety of careers, from wireless sales to fitness club management. Though these experiences taught me valuable lessons, they never satisfied my creative drive quite like writing. Now, as I embark on my journey as an author with my debut novel, I am also pursuing a Master's degree in Business Administration. This decision stems from my desire to build a strong brand and effectively share my creative ideas with the world. Ultimately, my goal is to craft stories that take complex worlds and make them relatable and engaging for readers everywhere.
