Since 2009, I’ve been writing here on HIVBlogger. I share reflections on my life living with HIV. Since 2018, I’ve also shared the added reality of kidney failure. What began as a blog of lived experience has grown into a space where advocacy, faith, and creativity meet. Over the years, this writing has taken on new forms: prayers, hymns, stories, and books.
Books published so far
I’ve been blessed to see some of my writing move from blog posts and liturgical drafts into published books. These titles are available through Lulu.com, an independent publishing platform that supports writers like me:
- Carried: The Bears’ Book of Blessings
- Chosen and Kept
- The Church is Open: Advent
Each of these books carries the same heartbeat as HIVBlogger: dignity in vulnerability, hope in the midst of challenge, and a gentle invitation to walk together.
You can explore them all on my Lulu Author Spotlight.
Books Still to Come
Writing is never finished—it is always becoming. In the coming year, I look forward to releasing more titles, including:
The Circuit of Care series
- Hands that Know
- In the Rounds
- Bears at the Threshold
- Binders, Biscuits, & Belonging
The Church is Open series
- The Church is Open: Christmas and Epiphany
- The Church is Open: Lent
These works continue the themes of prayer, community, and resilience, while opening new doors into fiction and reflection.
Beyond HIVBlogger
Alongside this blog, I also write at NeuroDivine.blog, where I explore the intersections of neurodivergence, spirituality, and imagination. Posts there often take the form of brief, evocative reflections—three-word titles, lyrical refrains, and meditations on presence and hope. Together, HIVBlogger and NeuroDivine form two sides of my writing life: one rooted in lived experience with illness, the other in creative and spiritual imagination.
Thank you for reading, for supporting, and for walking alongside me. Whether you buy a book, share a post, or simply pause to reflect, you are part of this story. And together, we keep writing it.
