In life’s journey, we all face unexpected challenges, tough lessons, and moments of triumph that shape who we become. In this insightful and heartfelt collection of stories, I’ve written a reflection on personal experiences, from marathon runs and life-altering failures to the value of friendship, the power of hope, and the inevitability of change. With each chapter, you’ll discover how believing in yourself, embracing discomfort, and learning from setbacks are essential steps on the path to growth. Whether it’s the seed of an idea waiting to take root or the journey to finding joy in imperfection, these stories remind us that life’s greatest lessons often come from the struggles we least expect.

Carmer and Grit investigate a mysteriously magical flying circus in the follow-up to“a fun and frolicking middle grade adventure full of enough fantasy, humor and heart to make giddy even the most finicky reader.” (BookPage) Shortly after saving the faeries of Skemantis, magician’s apprentice Felix Carmer III and his faerie companion, Grit, head out to see the world. They soon come across a mysteriously magical flying circus. As they get to know the outlandish world of Rinka Tinka’s Roving Wonder Show, it becomes clear there's something not quite normal about this circus or its inventor–and that recent airship disasters plaguing nearby Driftside City may have a sinister explanation.
