I’m a writer and traveler drawn to stories that exist on the edge of change. Over six years, I visited the remote Buddhist kingdom of Zanskar in the Himalayas, listening to monks, oracles, a runaway nun, the last two kings, and villagers whose lives straddled centuries of tradition and the sudden arrival of modernity.

The Story Keepers captures their voices, tracing a society navigating climate change, social upheaval, and the delicate balance between past and present. It is a book about the stories we inherit, the ones we lose, and the ones we fight to keep alive.

I hope my work brings readers into worlds they might never visit, and into lives that deserve to be remembered.

Within days of arrival though, my whole body is ten
