Travel Series
The Travel Series follows a group of travelers—Grace, Daniel, Mia, Theo, and their extended circle—as they move through the world in the only way anyone really does: with a mix of optimism, overthinking, last-minute decisions, emotional support items, questionable pacing, and a willingness to keep going anyway.
Each book explores a different way a trip can shape people. Sometimes it’s the quiet work that happens while packing. Sometimes it’s the way a group settles into its pace once the day begins. Sometimes it’s the stillness that appears when movement stops entirely. Whether the characters are sorting out their lives, navigating a single difficult day, or learning how to function as a pack, their travels reveal how much of a journey happens long before they reach any destination.
At the center of every story is the same idea: everyone travels differently, and those differences matter. One person steadies the group, another propels it forward, another notices the small things, another keeps the mood alive, and another adds meaning to the quiet moments. Together, their habits, quirks, and instincts form a kind of moving ecosystem—imperfect, honest, and completely theirs.
This series is about the way people carry themselves, carry each other, and find their way—on the road, in the airport line, at the kitchen table, in the moments that stall, and in the moments that shift something inside them. Every book adds a new layer to the same ongoing journey: how a pack grows, changes, steadies, and stays connected through all the places life asks them to go.
Pack Up. Calm Down.
Pack Up. Calm Down. is a practical guide to preparing for any trip with clarity and ease. It introduces a simple three-step system—clarity, design, and presence—to help you decide what to bring, what to skip, and how to avoid the common stress points that appear the moment a suitcase opens. Through clear checklists, structured methods like the Lay-Flat Method, the 10/20 Rule, and the Grab Table system, the book walks you from trip planning to packing, traveling, and returning home with fewer decisions and more order. Grace, Daniel, Mia, and Theo appear throughout as familiar companions, each showing how different packing personalities approach the same tasks in their own way.Running with the Pack
Running with the Pack explores how Grace, Daniel, Mia, Theo, Mark, Clara, Ella, and Jonah prepare for travel together—each with their own packing style, rhythms, habits, and emotional logic. Through early packing, last-minute bursts, spontaneous choices, careful systems, comfort items, light travel, and imaginative rituals, the book shows how different personalities collide, cooperate, and balance one another. As the trip unfolds, the group leans into these differences, discovering how their individual styles shape the day, support the pack, and turn ordinary travel into a shared story about belonging.At a Standstill
A single delay spirals into an entire day off-course as Grace, Daniel, Mia, and Theo move from one stalled moment to the next—airport lines, security bottlenecks, baggage claim chaos, grocery gridlock, waiting rooms, slow walkers, and even traffic that refuses to budge. What should have been simple turns into a chain of hold-ups none of them saw coming, pulling the four of them through a day that won’t quite start moving until the very end.
