ABOUT THE BOOK
Night Stream
Night Stream is a literary fiction collection that explores the inner lives of ordinary people at moments when memory, regret, morality, and choice quietly collide.
Rather than a single continuous plot, the book is structured as a series of interconnected short stories, each grounded in realistic settings—Midwestern highways, riverwalks, vacation towns, group homes, hospitals, and family gatherings. Together, they form a cohesive emotional landscape focused on aging, loneliness, responsibility, mental illness, intimacy, and the passage of time.

Night Stream is about how people live with what they remember, what they failed to do, and what they can no longer fix—and how, even late in life, small choices still matter.
