This is the story of a stranger who read my book at 2AM
Something wild happened last night.
At 2 a.m., someone non stop-read my entire novel.
They left a flood of comments.
Not two or three.
Hundreds.
I woke up to notifications and coffee.
The comments were kind, sharp, and specific.
They made me laugh.
They made me think.
They made the book better.
If that angel of the night is you, thank you.
If it was not you, it could be tonight.
Insomnia has a new hobby.
Here is the twist.
I am a professional photographer of 40+ years.
I shoot high school seniors, families, and businesses.
I live for light, detail, and honest moments.
Writing started as a curiosity.
A dare to myself.
Then a truth hit me last week.
I do a hobby for a living.
So, why not do a career for a hobby?
That mindset flipped a switch.
No pressure.
No perfection chase.
Just story.
I write for fun now.
Real fun.
The kind that makes you check the word count, smile, and keep going.
Double Exposure is my debut thriller.
It follows Reed Sawyer, a photographer with a secret life.
He knows that a confident stance and a camera can open doors.
He learns that some doors lead to danger.
It is fast, twisty, and full of shadows.
Boots and Stilettos is my love story.
It pairs grit with grace.
Montana skies.
Turquoise earrings.
A man who says little, and means it.
A woman who will not quit.
There is mud, spark, and second chances.
People are reading both books on Wattpad.
That still surprises me.
It still humbles me.
Readers are voting, saving, and commenting.
They are handing me edits that are pure gold.
They are catching small things I miss after midnight.
They are cheering when characters grow.
You can join in.
Read, vote, comment, and add to your Library.
Tell me your favorite line.
Ask a hard question.
Drop a theory.
If you are a night owl, type “Night Owl” so I can wave back.

Here is what you can expect from me.
I will keep posting chapters and revisions.
I will listen to feedback and apply it.
I will fix typos with the same joy I fix color casts.
I will chase clarity.
I will not waste your time.
I will try to make every scene feel true.
Photography trained me for this.
Patience matters.
Small adjustments change everything.
Light tells the story.
In writing, voice does that.
Pacing does that.
Detail does that.
I love the work.
I love the readers.
I love the late-night energy that grows a story.
This community turns a hobby into a craft.
It turns a draft into a book worth sharing.
That means the world to me.
Thank you for the reads.
Thank you for the votes.
Thank you for the comments.
You make this fun.
You make it possible.
See you on the page tonight.
I will bring the words.
You bring the curiosity.
