Personal Stories

“The bravest warriors wear no armour.” Katherine Monk

The first stories I wrote were very personal and, to date, few have been published. No matter, the experience has been cathartic and I’ve learned from the process. I debated whether or not to include this section; it’s not easy to “open the kimono,” so to speak. But words matter and there has been many a time I’ve read something that left me thinking, “So I’m not the only one who felt that way.”
