My book is now available

 

 

This feels a little surreal to write, but here it is.

My book is finished and ready to go out into the world.

 

PEARL grew quietly, over time. It began as notes in my journal and pieces written on my website - fragments shaped after moments I didn’t want to forget. Slowly, those fragments started to gather into stories, reflections and poems that felt connected as if they belonged together.

 

PEARL is a book about intimacy, eros and connection as experiences to be felt. It explores what it means to stay close to the body and to inner truth: to softness and wildness living side by side, to longing, presence, and tenderness and to the courage it sometimes takes to remain open. The writing stays close to lived experience- to what moves us, touches us and quietly shapes who we become.

 

Alongside the writing, the book includes a small number of photographs of me (in colour in the PDF and black and white in the paperback), a Spotify playlist that accompanied me while I was writing and a collection of reflections and letters from readers who engaged with early drafts. These responses have become one of my favourite parts of the book.

 

Here are a few short excerpts they shared:

 

“It leaves space for the reader to draw their own understanding and discover something personal within it.”

— Martin

 

''There were moments when the beauty of the words and the imagery they created left me breathless, and I had to pause to absorb their depth. If great literature is designed to move you, to strike into the core of your being, then this succeeds triumphantly.''

— Maxwell

 

“It does not offer answers - and that is its strength. It invites you inward, to notice and to feel.”

— Tom

 

PEARL is here to be read at your own pace, to sit beside you and to allow something to unfold in its own time.

 

The book is available in three formats:
