This page highlights my published books and longer-form writing projects. Here you’ll find work that extends the themes explored across Nom@d Learning, including growth, imperfection, identity, and the human side of change.
At present, this page features Seven Ordinary People and Their Fear of Imperfection, co-authored with James Taris. The collection explores how self-doubt, perfectionism, and everyday struggles shape ordinary lives, and how confronting those inner tensions can become part of personal growth.
The book includes a full-length novel and a series of short stories centred on characters facing vulnerability, uncertainty, and the pressure to live up to impossible standards. Together, these stories explore the emotional reality of imperfection in a way that is human, relatable, and reflective.
