Welcome to the True Story Series

Thank you for being here.

This page is home to two of my most personal books: Perched on the Rooftop and The Guardian in the Corner. These stories are not fiction in the traditional sense—they’re based on real events I lived through. Written with honesty and shaped by fear, mystery, and resilience, they reflect a chapter of my life that changed everything.

Suppose you’ve ever experienced something unexplainable or carried the weight of fear in silence. In that case, these books may speak to you in ways others can’t.

Each one was written as a step toward healing, and now they’re here, in case they can offer you something too.

Take a look. Read with an open heart. And thank you for stepping into these pages with me.
