Creative Writing
"For me, storytelling is the best way I've discovered to objectify my perceptions as a living, breathing human being. I observe, I feel, I believe, I explore -- and I transfer all of that to the work I create."

Tea
“Don’t forget that memory is like salt: the right amount brings out the flavour; too much ruins it.” –Paulo Coelho
Christian has set out to capture two of the most evocative flavours from his childhood: maple syrup and a certain tea.
“Not just any tea,” he says,” smiling. He leans back in his chair. “I’ve never tasted anything like it. Not since that day.”
He ribbons maple syrup onto his breakfast a few times a year. Often enough to summon memories of weekend breakfasts in his childhood home."
