I'm a writer from the US living in a small city in Korea with my husband.

The Ones Behind the Bookshelves Newsletter is part personal reading journal, part spotlight on indie fiction you might not find elsewhere. I started this newsletter to finally work through the long list of stories I’ve been meaning to read; I want to pick up the reading habit I lost track of as life got in the way.

Each time I post, it’s my way of pausing to reflect on what I’ve read, think through it, and share that experience with others. I feature stories that catch my eye, make me feel something, or surprise me. If you’re also looking to rediscover the joy of reading, or just want thoughtful recommendations from outside the mainstream, you’re in the right place.
