2018 Report

This year was one of great change. It only makes sense, then, that I finished The Great Shift (Book 3) before I finished Finding Home (Book 2). My goal is to finish Finding Home before the end of January 2019. I will be attending a writer's conference in February, during which I hope to gain direction and insight on how to publish the next books in the series.
This year I left my profession because I was unable to enact the change I desire to make in the world. I thought I had found my social home, and realized that I had not. I am not satisfied with small change: I want to change the world. Realizing that I had more to offer, and more thinking to do, I left a noble career to think. I will now be writing both this series and a new theory. The latter will, if all goes to plan, lead to a Doctorate and a series of semi-fictional stories that detail how I see my theory being implemented in the world.
Phinea is a world that reflects my view of reality. I see great beauty, rare purpose, and general geniality in all people. I believe that if we care for and understand the world, then the world will provide us with insight and abilities that will help us thrive, not just survive. I also see darkness and write on the side of those seeking to stop it. There is so much now to distract us that I find it easy to lose sight of what's really important: who we are, where we belong, and what we were. These three are the corresponding themes for the first, and maybe only, three books of Phinea.
