You're invited to read this book before anyone else in the world!
Because you supported The Way Home
It took 800 days of Morning Pages to finish The Way Home. Written by hand across six journals in between some of the darkest moments of my own journey through life.
It's an ensemble story about more than 20 interconnected characters who step off the Highway of Success and find a a campground, a group of humans who want to support them in their next steps and a Path that takes them on quite the adventure.
It's been through a full developmental edit and it's planned to be published in November 2026. But before it goes through the final edit, I want to read it with you. Literally.
Not your grandmother's book club
This isn't a traditional book club, and it isn't homework. It's a small, intimate early read — open only to the people who've supported this book's journey from the very beginning.
Over five weeks, you'll receive the manuscript in pieces: in writing, and read aloud in my own voice. One investor asked: "Can you read it to me as a bedtime story?" and that's what I'm planning to do.
As you read and/or listen, I'll ask for your honest reflections — what moved you, what confused you, what you saw in these characters that I might not have. Those reflections will genuinely shape the final version of this book before it's printed.
You won't just be reading The Way Home. You'll be helping build it.

Every single response is read. The patterns that emerge from your feedback, thoughts, and questions– where attention holds, where it wavers, which characters resonate most – will directly shape the final editing before this book goes to print.
