“And the characters in my book are composites. People, real, that I've borrowed their mannerisms, thoughts, narrations, and stories to add to my ever-growing list of characters. I am observant, And this cultivated trait has been my shortcut to distinction. And my stories carry vignettes that feel vivid, a street corner, a veranda conversation. Linked stories of a strong, observant, and slightly weary narrator.

I am a signal in the noise.”
