The Warrior in the Garden

The Strength to Withstand. The Wisdom to Withhold.

In a world that demands reaction, A Warrior in the Garden is a quiet revolt.

This powerful narrative follows Kaori, a girl forged in silence and raised through traditional sword arts, who learns that true strength isn’t found in striking first—but in knowing when not to strike at all.

From barefoot days in a cedar-scented dojo to battles fought without ever drawing her blade, Kaori grows into the kind of warrior the world rarely sees—one trained for war, yet choosing peace. A disciplined student of kenjutsu, she carries the ancient principles of breath, balance, and composure into a world that confuses calm for weakness. Read More

With relatable stories, heartfelt reflections, and grounded wisdom, The Unwelcome Task challenges us to reconsider the very things we try to avoid—and discover purpose in the burdens we carry.

Our Bad Choices

A Wake-Up Call for Anyone Who Thinks They’re the Only One Paying the Price

We rarely see the full impact of our decisions while we’re making them. In the moment, we justify. We defend. We act out of emotion, fear, pride, or pain. We think we’re only hurting ourselves—or we don’t think at all. But somewhere down the line, after the dust settles, we start to notice the quieter casualties. The friend who went silent. The child who stopped trusting. The partner who stayed, but stopped hoping. This book is not about reliving shame. It’s about finally seeing what we couldn’t before—and choosing to grow from it.
