I began writing supernatural thrillers when I won a Raven Society Award at the University of Virginia in support of my creative writing. But it wasn’t until two decades later, after completing a three year isolated meditation and yoga retreat in the high-desert mountains of Arizona, that I felt compelled to publish stories that allow readers to experience deep wisdom gained from fifteen years of detailed Buddhist and yoga training. Following in the footsteps of my story-telling idols C.S. Lewis, Neil Gaiman, and the Wachowskis, I am a firm believer in combining philosophy with fun. I am also the founder of GoBeyond.org and travel teaching Buddhist and yoga philosophy with an emphasis on meditation.
