The alchemy that you use to weave lust, love, beauty and scars leaves me in awe. We hear people describe things, like entire lives lived in a DMT trip. That is how a piece like this feels. Beyond real, beyond past or present. It is conveyed, so beautifully, in his voice. As before, I inhabit this story in her. I have no clue how you do it, but I am so grateful that you share this gift of yours. Thank you.

My dear friend…this might be why I write. When you touch someone with words, it was worth the tears that went into writing this. Thank you.

I struggle to find words for this piece. It’s one of your finest—that much is certain. But god, it’s like someone ripped my heart out, held it up in front of me, then carefully put it back and sewed me up while I watched wide-eyed.

Your writing always makes me feel things. You weave eroticism and raw emotionality together into some of the most compelling stand-alone tales I’ve ever read. It’s the kind of work that comes from someone who lifts the curtain on the ugly parts of life… and still finds a way to make them beautiful.

Thank you so much. I’m inclined to say “for the kind words”, but I’ve learned to trust that they’re sincere. And that makes them all the more valuable.
