My Writing Philosophy
“The past is not dead; it’s simply buried. My work is to carefully brush away the dust of centuries and reveal the vibrant human stories beneath. I want my readers to feel the same sense of wonder I do when I hold an artifact that hasn’t been touched in a thousand years, and to understand that we are all connected to this vast, shared human history.”
