Quicksilver & the Alchemy of Pain explores why dark love stories can feel more honest than “healthy” romances—and what that says about our own history with hurt. Using the metaphor of quicksilver, the book looks at how we learn to confuse chaos with depth, obsession with intimacy, and suffering with proof that a relationship matters. Through reflective storytelling and psychological insight, it shows how certain listeners see themselves in violent, morally gray love stories not because they’re broken, but because those stories finally give language to survival patterns they already live.

Go as a River, Stay as Yourself is a reflective companion to stories like Go as a River—a book about what it really costs to “flow with life” when your world has been carved by grief, duty, and other people’s expectations.

A Very Merry Matchup Machine is a sharp, warm look at how holiday rom-coms, small towns, and well-meaning relatives turn December into a matchmaking factory—and what that does to anyone who doesn’t fit the script. Starting from the cozy chaos of a Christmas romance full of pageants, cocoa and “accidental” setups, this book opens the casing of the holiday-love machine to examine the gears underneath: the pressure to be coupled by year’s end, the way communities act like human algorithms, and the quiet shame of spending the season unresolved.

The Good Hair Day Contract starts in the mirror and follows the invisible negotiations that begin every time we ask, “Do I look acceptable enough to be seen?” Blending cultural critique with intimate reflection, the book uncovers the unspoken deal many of us absorb: on “good hair days” we are allowed confidence, desirability, and professionalism; on “bad” ones, we owe the world apology or extra effort. From family comments to workplace bias, from salons as sanctuaries to social media perfection, it shows how hair becomes a site where race, gender, age, class, and identity quietly collide.
