Step Zero: Questions That Change Us

Eric Sawyer thought he knew himself. He had a job, a routine, and a life he kept under control. Then an old man on a bench asked him a question he couldn’t answer:

Who are you?

What starts as an irritating encounter becomes something harder to ignore. Guided by Samuel, a retired railroad worker who asks more than he explains, Eric is pushed to look at himself in ways he’s spent years avoiding.

Step Zero is a quiet, reflective novella about the questions that come before change and what happens when someone finally stops avoiding them.

The Clockmaker’s Son

When Tom Reed returns to his hometown after his father’s death, he expects to settle the estate, close the clock shop, and leave. Instead, he finds a hidden box, a trail of unfinished repairs, and a town full of people who knew the man he never really understood.

As Tom works through the clocks his father left behind, he begins to see the shape of a life he didn’t expect: a boy eager to learn, a woman who understands loss, and a community that remembers his father better than he ever did. What starts as a short visit becomes a chance to mend what’s broken, including parts of himself.

Set in a small mountain town where time moves at its own pace, The Clockmaker’s Son is a gentle, emotionally grounded story about inheritance, silence, and choosing the life that finally feels like yours.
