New Project:The Ways in Which Peace Falls

The Ways in Which Peace Falls was written out of personal loss, its creation helping to re-orientate and re-inspire a sense of belonging. Some years previously, I co-founded a social enterprise publishing company, and during that time edited two collaborative book projects: The Book of Apertures, and Time. I have also published a collection of poetry. ​Now an English teacher, I remain drawn to timeless stories that unveil new worlds, embolden our hearts, and set us off on adventures we might never have otherwise imagined — The Ways in Which Peace Falls will appeal to anyone who shares a fondness for such things.

THE BOOK OF APERTURES

​

With an emphasis upon collaboration — containing fifteen short stories and nine poems by fourteen different writers, and forty-one pieces of artwork by nine different artists — The Book of Apertures represents a series of explorations into the enigmatic nature of life, as viewed through each contributor's personal aperture.

TIME

​

The stories within this anthology entwine, narratives overlapping as they pass through childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, before emerging at the last into old age. Exploring the theme of time, this collection embraces that unique relationship between words and pictures.

'An intriguing book project from one of the most innovative groups of creative people in the city.'~ Huffington Post
