The stories we tell shape the world we live in.

What we choose now defines the childhood they get.

I write to name what isn’t working — and imagine something more human in its place.

Words with conviction. Stories with purpose. For our children, and the world they’ll inherit.

AI is rewriting the future — but we’re still preparing kids for a world that doesn’t exist.
The cost is showing. Every classroom. Every home. Every child caught between two worlds.

These aren’t just books.
They’re wake-up calls.

“We taught them to follow the map. Then changed the world beneath their feet.” — Sarah Kissane

Why I write

Because silence protects the wrong things.
Because change begins with awareness — and stories.
Because our future, their future, is on the line.

I write to name what isn’t working.
I write to put words into readers’ hands — words that spark conversations and ignite souls.
I write to leave readers changed.

Books that wake you up — and stay with you.

These aren’t just pages. They’re quiet revolutions in print.

Obsolete: The Education Wake-Up Call

We’re still preparing kids for a future that no longer exists.
AI is rewriting childhood. Schools are clinging to old systems.
Quick. Powerful. Thought-provoking.
A wake-up call for parents, teachers — and anyone who still believes education should honour children, not just programs.

“The glow keeps calling. So does the world they were made for.”

A poetic and piercing reminder of what childhood is meant to be: full of presence, play, wonder, and becoming — and of what truly helps them grow, imagine, and simply be a kid.

Simple. Beautiful. True. A story for anyone who still believes childhood deserves more than just a screen.
