I write about what power tries to take—and what people fight to keep.

faq’s

  • A: A body of work. A reclamation. A place where survival becomes story and silence becomes voice. The fig is my emblem — seeded, scarred, still sweet.

  • A: Salt preserves, tongue speaks. Together, they carry survival forward.

  • A: Neither and both. SALT+TONGUE is my voice, my work, my presence. It’s not a product line, but you may find offerings here.

  • A: Novels, essays, poems. Stories of memory, survival, and reclamation. They are sharp, lyrical, often heavy — and always witness.

  • A: My poems are my feelings, but my novels are not confessions, but stories shaped by witness. My life is not my characters’ lives. My voice is their scaffolding, not their cage.

  • A: Anyone who has carried silence and wants to see it break. SALT+TONGUE is not written for one gender, but for anyone who knows survival.

  • A: Some are duologies, some stand alone. Each is its own world. Together, they trace a path — not a franchise, but a constellation.

  • A: Because survival rarely comes in a single book. My voice sprawls, but each project has its own focus and arc.

  • A: The Fig Trail newsletter — one letter a month, no noise.

  • A: Yes. Read, share, respond. Offerings will come soon (prints, chapbooks, cards).
