After my mother passed away tragically, I found myself wandering through a fog of grief and exhaustion. Writing, once a source of joy, had become burden but it also became a tool for expressing my grief.

"Santa Land" explores why adults still need fairy tales—stories of grief, love, and wonder that heal, inspire, and invite us to believe again.

This is the beginning of the book Santa Land Novel. We open with our character Tom sitting at a keyboard...that is after we've been greeted by a cricket who sets the stage for our journey with Tom. And our beloved. Who is that? Well you have to find out for yourself. And what's this nonsense about a cricket? Well, maybe the key to all of your questions are revealed every time you hear a cricket chirp. And it becomes ringing in your ears.
