Welcome to my "Now" page. Here is what I'm currently working on and enjoying as of April 2026:
Business
Our loose leaf teas are now sold in 41 shops in 17 states!
Pretty solid festival & market schedule with bookings all the way out to December! Most excited for Steampunk & Oddities Fair & Irish Fest in May, Renaissance Faire & Jazz Fest in June.
Creative Projects
Currently writing a fantasy novel that has been kicking around in my head for a couple decades. I'm 10,500+ words in so far.
Launched Xpara Archive: Unresolved Cases, a serial paranormal fiction for the web. New entries drop on Fridays.
Web Finds
Exploring the Indie/Small Web after finally reaching my absolute breaking point with social media and the modern web. I feel so refreshed, inspired, and relieved to see that the old web vibes are still thriving!
Frieren + Jazz! - I've been listening to this (non-AI, human-created!) jazz performance of the original sound track for Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (my absolute favorite anime.)
