Welcome to Truth and Fiction 

*A short playful launch note* 

You found your way here—maybe curious, maybe wondering, maybe avoiding something you should be doing. All valid choices. 

Truth and Fiction is my corner of the Internet, where stories and ideas share the same table and occasionally steal each other’s fries. I write fiction because life is too strange not to dramatize. I write non-fiction because life is too real not to examine, and I write both because truth and imagination, to me, are co-conspirators to a higher cause. 

Here’s what you’ll find: 

**Fiction** \- Contemporary drama, dramedy, sleek romance, love stories mysteries, serials, novels, novellas, flash fiction—everything except dragons. (For now). 

**Nonfiction** \- Religion, philosophy, family, life, economics, culture—those things we think about when we think we're not thinking. 

**Serials & Longform** \- Stories that unfold chapter by chapter, like TV episodes, or Netflix for readers.

**Essays & Reflection** \- Short, sharp, sometimes tender, sometimes spicy. 

To mark the launch, I’m sharing something special to me: my novel ***The Girl No Boy Could Love.*** It’s the book that taught me how to write with heart and risk and I have made it available on this site, for free. It’s the best way for you to see what I can do.

If you like your stories human and your ideas alive, welcome. If you’re not sure yet, welcome anyway. If you’re here by accident... stay a minute. You might like it. 

Thanks for being here.
