My Third Eye
"In visions dark he sees their fates. A stolen soul behind locked gates. To save the on ensnared in pain, He must return to where ghosts remain.

Above Water ✔️
Thomas needed a vacation, but that didn't mean he wanted one. His best friend convinced him to come down to his family's beach house for the summer to unwind, to relax for once.

Thomas intended to mope around for the three months, drink away his problems, and maybe get a tan in the process. However, his plans were thwarted when an unwanted houseguest from his past arrived the day after his getting there, leaving a bitter tang on the entire "vacation." Not to mention, Thomas was forced to share what he thought was his room with his best friend's wife's ridiculously handsome brother, Dallas. Thomas was on the cusp of drowning in the first week.

Fragments of becoming
This book is a reflection of my life, not as a straight autobiography, but as a collection of experiences, thoughts, and stories that shaped who I am. It explores my childhood, my growth into adulthood, and the mental and emotional states I've navigated along the way. The book touches on themes of bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression, showing how they influenced my perspective and my resilience. It also includes fictional and semi-fictional stories I've written, which reflect different parts of my inner world. I talk openly about identity, the LGBTQ+ community, self-discovery, and what it means to accept who you are. Some sections explore sexuality and personal desires as part of that self-understanding, without defining or limiting who I am. Ultimately, this book is about becoming - who I've been, who I am, and who I want to be - and finding purpose, honesty, and freedom in telling my truth.Complete
