For decades, I wrote for the screen—crafting storylines, building characters, collaborating with directors and actors to bring vision to life. Writing The Ushering was like entering an entirely different galaxy.
With a novel, there are no budget constraints, no time slots, no network notes. Just the imagination—pure, unfiltered, and limitless.
The shift taught me one key truth: storytelling is about emotional architecture. Whether you’re producing an episode of The X-Files or writing a surreal beach scene between a child and a dying man, the question is always the same:
What does the soul need to hear?
In this book, I finally got to answer it.
