Resources

Come back to explore the contents of my resource library from time to time because I will be adding more thoughts around the topics whenever I can. I would not be a writer if it wasn’t for everything I have read, learned, and grown from, throughout my life. Within the pages of my books are encoded my experiences of acquiring knowledge and it only feels fair that what others have made possible for me, I should, in turn, pass on. So here are some doors for you to open; I hope you thoroughly enjoy exploring the worlds waiting beyond them.
