Welcome to The Matterhorn — a home for readers and writers who love fiction.
Fiction is at the heart of what I do. This is where I explore the ideas that stay with me — from research and memory, to the small moments of daily life, to the larger ethical and cultural questions that shape who we are.
The Matterhorn began as a way to explore internationalism, culture, and storytelling — first through my research and travels, then through a podcast. Today, it’s the home for my fiction and the conversations that surround it.
📚 Fiction — serialized stories, novel excerpts, and occasional standalone pieces.
🧪 Creative Lab — behind-the-scenes essays on the process of making fiction: what I’m reading, noticing, and shaping into story.
🌏 Encounters — brief, vivid reflections with texts inspired by life in Japan, international living, and the sparks of everyday experience.
☕️ The Brunch — books, art, and ideas — catch up with me for coffee, and join the conversation.
🎙 Podcast (on pause) — you can still listen to past conversations on Substack, Apple, or Spotify
Fiction here is likely to contain more truth than fact. ~Virginia Woolf, “A Room of One’s Own”
