I am excited to share the release of our inaugural collection of short fiction works titled ‘Seven Ordinary People and Their Fear of Imperfection.’
Co-authored with my friend and author, James Taris, our anthology delves into the universal human struggles of self-doubt and perfectionism, portraying simple characters grappling with their inner demons.
In the full-length novel, 1 Faulty Bend: Seven ordinary people and their fear of imperfection, readers will follow the intertwined stories of seven individuals grappling with intense self-doubt and perfectionism, portraying the relentless battle against imperfection.
Readers are immersed in a profound exploration of how minor imperfections and perceived flaws can gradually overwhelm one’s thoughts if not confronted, underscoring the significance of addressing these inner struggles.
In addition, seven short stories offer more succinct glimpses into themes of vulnerability, career aspirations, low self-esteem, creativity blocks, and work-life balances.
By sharing relatable stories of ordinary individuals, we illustrate how conquering feelings of inadequacy serves as an essential component of one’s personal evolution.
Our anthology offers profound insights into prevalent psychological obstacles, fostering a sense of unity among readers as they find solace in the shared exploration of imperfections.
