The Circle of Selves Trilogy is my forthcoming collection of memoirs exploring healing, identity, and the radical act of befriending every inner voice. Told through layered narratives, transspecies dialogue, and poetic fragments, each book traces a different stage of inner reckoning, from the collapse of old survival strategies to the quiet miracle of becoming a safe house for the inner parts that once felt exiled.
Book One: The Alchemy of Being a House, begins in the rubble: body breakdown, family secrets and spiritual awakening, woven through with the voice of Ruth, my loyal inner watchdog. Arriving September 7, 2025, rising with the Full Corn moon.
Book Two: Rage Was Our First Language, follows Baby Jenny, my fierce and primal self born from infant trauma, as she transforms from feared creature to honored protector. Arriving fall 2026.
Book Three: Our Body Music, brings a whole jam band of personified body-voices to life, each one representing pain, illness, and the messy intimacy of living in a disabled body. Arriving fall 2027.
These memoirs offer an honest invitation into the architecture of many selves, where nothing is exiled and everything belongs.
Three memoirs. One body.
One house. My circle of selves.
