ADULT NONFICTION

BONES OF THE PATTERN

Why We Love the Way We Do — and How to Stop Repeating It

Bones of the Pattern is my flagship body of work for adults.

It explores how survival strategies form early, why repetition feels invisible, and what changes when patterns are named without shame.

This book is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding yourself well enough to choose differently.

What readers gain:

  • Language for patterns that once felt confusing

  • Relief from self-blame

  • Clarity around repetition

  • A grounded framework for reflection and change

CHILDREN’S BOOK —

EMOTIONAL LITERACY

HOW THESE WORKS CONNECT

While written for different ages, these books share the same philosophy:

  • Feelings are information, not problems

  • Awareness comes before change

  • Safety creates honesty

  • Stories help us name what we don’t yet have words for

One book speaks to adults.
One book speaks to children.

Both honor the same truth:
what we don’t name tends to grow in the dark.

OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

In addition to these books, my work includes:

  • card decks designed for daily processing

  • long-form essays and reflections

  • speaking frameworks used in live events

  • tools that support honesty without overwhelm

Each body of work is clearly defined — and intentionally separated — so people can engage with what fits their season.

FUTURE WORK

Future books and frameworks will continue to explore:

  • identity beyond survival

  • emotional literacy across generations

  • faith and honest healing

  • integration over inspiration

Each new work will stand on its own — while remaining connected through the same core philosophy.

THE CLOSET THAT GLOWED

A Tale of Big Feelings, Brave Hearts, and a Story That Glows

The Closet That Glowed is a children’s picture book created to help kids understand emotions without fear — and help adults have safer conversations with them.

This story gently introduces:

  • big feelings without labeling them as “bad”

  • curiosity instead of fear

  • bravery without pressure

  • emotional awareness in age-appropriate language

It was written for:

  • children navigating anxiety or big emotions

  • parents and caregivers who want better language

  • educators looking for emotionally safe storytelling

This book does not teach lessons.
It creates space.
