Living With B
My first novel, this story (inspired by events in my life) showcases the reality of living with bulimia. I wrote the book because, as I worked through my own recovery, I found eating disorder content heavy, too serious, and / or leaning too heavily on religion. I wanted a story that was real, something that had ups and downs (not just downs) so I worked to put together a story that is an accurate reflection of my experience while having moments of levity for the reader. More individuals struggle with eating disorders than people often realize, so hopefully this brings you closer to better understanding and appreciating what you (or someone possibly in your circle) is facing.
The Summer of 3
In my mid-twenties, I was inspired to write a story about the realities of the mid-twenty-year-old relationship in the modern era and how echos of the past continue to creep into how we view ourselves, our relationships, and our friends. I wanted it to be approachable, relatable, and real. A lot of "summer reading" or "women's fiction" are full of high-octane drama. Yes, they can be fun to read, but there isn't always as much relatability, and I wanted to fit into a niche where "summer reading" meets "real". So, for "The Summer of 3" you follow 3 friends as they navigate their mid-twenties, their relationships, and themselves, trying to figure out how to balance what they want with the pressures of society. Perfect for those who like fiction that parallels reality.
...Think of it as a quiet, gnawing reality that unfolds and makes you pay attention, like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but for adults.
What Faye Loves
This story came about because when we got Faye she had all these funny and adorable little quirks that we would tell our family and friends about constantly. Finally one of our friends said, "Stephane, you're a writer, you should write her story," and I replied with, "haha, sure (pause) ... ooooooh, I could!" So I did!
Faye's story follows her throughout the day and showcases her adorable side and her scared side. Readers have told me that they even see it as a way to teach kids about appreciating the differences in others, about how it's okay to be scared, about how to have big feelings, and about how to find joy in life. And with a rhyming scheme, it's even fun to read! It's part of the Kindle Unlimited program, and it's also available on Audible.
What Ein Prefers
After the success of "What Faye Loves", I couldn't wait to get Ein's (short for Einstein) story out there. I wrote "What Ein Prefers" to be a natural progression from "What Faye Loves" so kids and families could grow with the dogs in their life and reading abilities. It also presents a new theme - that life can be made better when we know and advocate to do things according to our preferences! We don't always get to do it that way, but it's great when we can.
This book also has a rhyming pattern, making it both fun to read and helpful for children as they work to master their reading skills.
It's also on Audible, so I can read it to your family as you follow along.
Stickers & Cards
Because Ein and Faye are so lovable, I wanted to be sure there was memorabilia for kids and families to make part of their lives. The stickers are great to have and share, and the blank-inside cards are the perfect addition to everyone's 'thank you' card set. They're fun to receive, too, as they put a smile on everyone's face.
A portion of the proceeds from all Ein and Faye works go to local animal rescues.
Quotes in Spanish (By Theme)
(By Grammar Topic)
I taught Spanish for five (5) years in the states and completed my student teaching in Spain. What I discovered is that language feels less imposing and therefore more accessible when it's consumed in smaller bites. And when you can make those bites even err on the side of 'fun', it's a win-win. So I started using quotes in my classroom as a way to engage the students. Then I realized that if I found them beneficial, others might, too, so I compiled them into a quote book others could pick up for themselves.
Music
Songs
I've always enjoyed rhyming schemes, and here and there I've written and published poems. One holiday season I was inspired to try writing a song. Then I was referred to Suno to help produce it, and it's progressed from there, including my first album, Burnt Out Millennial (mix).​

Games
Drag In Place
Drag In Place is my first published game. The idea came to me in 2025 while watching family members play matching games. Something about it clicked for me: simple concept, real engagement, genuine fun. I thought, why not make my own version, but with a little more magic?
I also wanted the game to meet players where they are, so I built three modes:
🥚 Easy — a quick brain reset, no pressure
🥚 Hard — a proper puzzle challenge
🥚 Hard + Timed — for when you want a little chaos with your strategy (earthquakes may or may not scramble your progress...)
Education
I built and own this platform which provides asynchronous tutoring for Knowledge Seekers (KS) by Subject Experts (SE). Each SE provides their own materials, and KS can rent 3-day access to them or subscribe to their page for ongoing help on a schedule that works for them. Either start your own SE page today or come find the help you need, now!
For Spanish educators looking at add to their curriculum, peruse my worksheets, quizzes, tests, and other downloadable goods. Join the hundreds of educators who have found them successful, and make your life a little easier with a little help from me.

I wrote this story and submitted it to a competition. It recounts my time in Verona, Italy as I tried to find my family. It's published in the International Business Times. I'm not sure if all the images still load after all this time, but you can still read the article.
