As I write, each story a revolving memory that has haunted me for so long, I release its hold on me. As I write, I place the pages of that part of my book back on the shelf for someone else to grow from.

Logo for The Books
On Substack, I write wherever the wind—or my trauma—carries me. One day, my memories may drift back to 2004, only to leap forward to the present the next. This nonlinear journey has been deeply therapeutic, though I realise it can be disorienting for new readers. That’s why I’m shaping my story into book form, bringing structure and coherence to the unfolding narrative. The first book, 'The Undoing', marks the beginning of this effort. You’ll find samples here, and I’ll share a link to the published book once it’s released.
Logo for Tesha's Story
A retelling of the intertwining of 13-year-old 'Tesha' and I, and the rescue journey into captivity. These posts will be shared with paid members for early access before being released openly.
Logo for Little Red
Red's story of being silenced for a decade, and now fighting to be heard.
Works of fiction based loosely on stories we have encountered throughout our journey, or on external narratives that have come to us. The purpose of these stories is to provide understanding to the church, to Christians, and to those making space for the broken, and to recognise the red flags and the control and destruction it causes.
