Mom is unhappy that it is just an old administration building, filled with stale air, empty offices, and cobwebby hallways. It’s nothing like the last abandoned mental hospital we got into.

The Memoir
A Year of Tiny Monsters
At the start of 2020, Liam was on top of the world. With a thriving new business and newfound independence, he launched his dream of traveling the globe solo. But as Covid-19 spread, quarantine in Sydney with a charismatic stranger erupted into psychological warfare. After engineering his escape from Australia on one of the last flights out, an even greater tragedy awaited at home. A Year of Tiny Monsters examines how the smallest threats—microscopic viruses, white lies, and hairline fractures—can shatter our carefully constructed worlds, blending psychological suspense with a raw exploration of survival during humanity’s most isolating modern moment.
Currently, the manuscript is being refined through a self-directed MFA program, with particular focus on its genre-bending elements and psychological depth. The memoir, which puts early pandemic isolation under a microscope while exploring themes of identity, deception, and resilience, is slated for completion in 2026.
