Over the past 6 years I’ve slowly sold copies of my first book Zōsan. I’m down to only about 30. With some in person events on the horizon, I decided to work on a reprint.

I did not grow up in the era that this book is set in, but this book paints vivid portraits of each setting and scene it feels like a time warp. I found myself pausing in reverie remembering some of my own explorations of new places in the woods, wilderness, and quiet old buildings. I … Continue reading The Secret Cellar
