These books gather what is shared freely elsewhere—hymns, stories, reflections—and give them a more lasting form.

If something you have read has stayed with you, you may find it again here.

Hidden Fires & Inner Skies

A contemplative Eucharistic devotional exploring the meeting place between Christian faith, neurodivergence, creation, and the quiet presence of God. Rooted in Anglican spirituality and inspired by the landscapes of Ireland, Hidden Fires & Inner Skies offers gentle reflections, prayers, and questions for contemplation, inviting readers into a slower rhythm of prayer and a deeper awareness of Christ in the breaking of the bread and the beauty of the everyday.

Available in paperback through Lulu.
