A Note Before You Read

This page is here to help you feel prepared before you read. Every reader is different, and knowing what's in a book before you start matters. Some details below may hint at plot points, so keep that in mind as you read through them.

If something on a list is a topic you need to avoid, please honor that and skip that title. Below are the specific items, ideas, and themes I use in my writing and books.

If you think something is missing, reach out through the contact page and let me know.
