The stories we tell shape the world we live in.

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.

What we choose now defines the childhood they get.

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.
