Power without love is brittle. Love without courage shatters.

Coral Flower is now available — and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

This is the second book in the White Lotus trilogy, and it's the story I've wanted to tell for a long time. Padma, an exiled king, wanders the burial grounds of India practicing secret meditations and discovering uncanny powers. Princess Coral Flower defies her family, rejects marriage and privilege, and dreams of the dangerous freedom of the Buddha's path.

When they find each other, everything changes — drawing kings, monks, dakinis, and demons into a widening circle of consequences.

It's historical fiction with the shimmering edge of myth. A love story that is also a spiritual reckoning. A world where charnel grounds become classrooms, princesses become renunciates, and love itself becomes a path of practice — sharp as a blade and tender as a first breath.

If any part of you has ever been drawn to the wild edges of the Buddhist world, this one is for you.

exploring the microcosms through art is fun. like entering a single cell. Healing can happen this way.

There's a theory that says that life is based on a competition and the struggle and the fight for survival, and it's interesting because when you look at fractal character of evolution, it's totally different. It's based on cooperation among the elements in the geometry and not comp
