Voices have been raised; now it is time to accelerate change, and write a new ending. While we work toward this goal, we should be encouraged. We should be lifted up, for no one, who strives, strives alone. My original works focus on the lonely strivers, the confused and sometimes forgotten, who are just trying to figure it all out. My characters, in time, find that they are not alone; they are never alone. I hope that my works shine light, clear the cluttered pathways, and crack open a door for all lonely strivers to walk through.
