Stories belong to everyone. 📚✨

On #WorldBrailleDay, I want to pause and celebrate the readers who experience fantasy through touch, sound, and imagination. Braille isn’t just a format—it’s a gateway to worlds filled with dragons, magic, courage, and wonder.

As an indie author, accessibility matters deeply to me. Stories lose their magic when they’re locked behind barriers, and inclusive publishing helps ensure that no reader is left outside the gates. Whether it’s Braille, audiobooks, large print, or other accessible formats, every path into a story is valid and powerful.

Today is a reminder that imagination has no single shape—and that reading is for everyone. 💙

"I was turned on to Prince sometime around 1980. I really love For You and Prince and Controversy and Dirty Mind, but there was something about 1999. A lot of heroin was going through Seattle, and while I wasn't using, a lot of people were getting strung out: my friends, my roommate, my girlfriend, my band. We had just signed to Jello Biafra's record label and were going to be the next big thing, but a couple of the guys got strung out and it was the end of the band. It was 10 Minute Warning, who were a precursor to Soundgarden and Green River and all of that. I was heartbroken, man, seeing all this stuff going on around me, and I knew I had to make a decision. Then 1999 came out in 1982, and I just dove into the record. I loved Little Red Corvette. It may be the most perfect three-chord song ever written. But it was the deeper tracks that I loved most. I would get off work and come home and just play the record and it was my escape. Everybody has that record that 'saved their life', and 1999 gave me the courage to stand on my own two feet. It gave me the courage to leave. I knew my car wouldn't make it to New York, but I knew it could get me to LA. Somehow it encouraged me to do that on my own, and it was scary, but I knew music was going to be my thing."
