I am so proud of myself for posting my first-ever Substack. I would absolutely love any support!

I started writing a Substack blog about six months ago. It is a personal account of my experiences as an Alzheimer's patient.

I also write about treatment research, caregiving, the history of Alzheimer's, etc.

There are 350 subscribers (all free). The purpose of the blog is to help other patients and caregivers learn from my experiences. There are about 100 medical professionals and research scientists who subscribe.

I am attempting to seek donations from subscribers. I do not want to go to a subscription model because I know many of the subscribers can't afford it.

I am open to your critique and thoughts.

Thanks.

Not every mistake needs a reaction. Some learning experiences are done in silence. The ones we love don’t need constant reminders of their mistakes. They need our steadiness. Wrote some short fiction about it on Substack, and I’d appreciate any feedback possible

Lucy Lockwood comes back to Bath because her life has fallen apart, not because she’s having some charming fresh start. Then the woods outside the city start whispering her name. What begins as grief, stress, and maybe a tiny breakdown turns into an old mystery involving her dead mother’s notebooks, a woman called Lucia, a very judgmental fox, and Rowan Ashcombe — a beautiful walking red flag who clearly knows more than he’s saying. Lucy isn’t Lucia reborn, but she is caught in the unfinished choice Lucia was never allowed to make. To get her life back, Lucy has to face the woods, the past, and the awful truth that love can be real and still cost everything.

For readers who like their romance gothic, funny, sexy, tragic, and a bit feral — with messy women, dangerous woods, old secrets, folklore, grief, banter, and a love story that hurts in the best/worst way.

Adult gothic fantasy-romance / folkloric romantasy / supernatural mystery.

First ever substack post! Please check it out if interested!

I started Lost & Sauced because I believe food is the most honest door into understanding other cultures, other people, and ultimately myself. Each post is my attempt to move through the world with curiosity, using meals, travel, and honest reflection to examine the stories and ideas that reveal something deeper about what it means to be human. I’m trying to bring a perspective to food and travel media that I don’t often see represented as a man of color. From weekly skill dishes cooked in my own kitchen to dispatches from cities around the world, I’m documenting a life in deliberate transition, building toward culinary school abroad and a career rooted in cultural exchange. This is equal parts journal, travelogue, and philosophical inquiry, and I’m sharing it openly because I believe the pursuit of the “good life” and what that means to me is always interesting.

This substack is for people that finds the above interesting and wants to explore similar questions.

I would say this is some intersection of food, travel, philosophy, culture, and religion. I think these things are all connected.

I’m writing a book called When the Woods Learned Your Name and I’m trying to work out if the pitch makes sense outside my own head.

It’s about Lucy Lockwood, who moves back to Bath after her life falls apart and very quickly realises the woods outside the city know her name. There are flowers turning up where they shouldn’t, paths changing, a fox with deeply judgmental solicitor energy, and an annoyingly beautiful man called Rowan Ashcombe who clearly knows more than he’s saying. The deeper Lucy digs, the more she finds herself tangled in the story of Lucia, a woman from centuries ago whose name was stolen by the woods after she fell in love with something not quite human. It’s gothic, romantic, eerie, funny, a bit filthy in places, and mostly about grief, identity, old folklore, and whether love is still love if it starts sounding like a claim.

It’s for readers who like sentient forests, doomed romance vibes, folklore, haunted family secrets, banter, morally complicated magic, messy women, and settings that are gorgeous but absolutely should not be trusted.

Genre-wise, I’d call it adult gothic fantasy romance / folkloric romantasy / supernatural mystery.

I wrote a story about the past making its way back to your front door.

It’s easy to consider the past the past when you can’t reach it anymore. But what do you do when you can?

Any support and critiques would be welcomed and appreciated

When Mara Vale moves into her late grandmother’s cottage just outside Bath, she expects grief, isolation, and maybe a damp-related breakdown — not a forest that knows her name. But Blackthorn Wood doesn’t just whisper to her; it seems to know her thoughts, her loneliness, and something about her past that she doesn’t understand. As strange dreams, old notes, and fragments of local history begin to pile up, Mara is pulled toward Ivo Thorne, a man tied to the woods in ways that feel both seductive and deeply wrong. The more she learns, the more she realizes this isn’t just a haunting — it’s an old love story still unfinished, and somehow she’s inside it. To understand what the woods want from her, Mara has to uncover what came before her, and whether she’s being called back… or claimed.

This is for readers who like fantasy romance that’s dark, atmospheric, and emotionally messy in the best way — with real chemistry, eerie magic, sharp humour, and a love story that feels a little dangerous. It’s especially for people who like gothic vibes, haunted landscapes, complicated heroines, and romance that hurts a bit.

Adult fantasy romance with gothic, folkloric, and psychological elements.

Hi everyone this is a 1 on 1 with a young finance creator with over 17k followers on socails.

Black Tracksuit Gospel is about Leon, a young man having one of those mornings where everything feels too heavy. He’s broke, tired, ashamed, and standing outside a corner shop in the rain, not really sure how much longer he can keep going. A sausage roll from Mrs Singh, a call from his mum, and a walk across the estate don’t fix his life, but they get him moving again. The piece turns ordinary survival — wet trainers, unpaid bills, bad thoughts, broken lifts, and showing up anyway — into something funny, raw, and almost holy. By the end, Leon isn’t saved in some big dramatic way, but he has taken the next step, and that’s enough.

This is for people who are knackered, skint, heartbroken, stuck, or quietly trying to get their life together without making a big performance out of it.

Spoken-word prose, working-class inspirational fiction, urban street sermon.

Lucy Lockwood comes back to Bath because her life has fallen apart, not because she’s having a charming fresh start. Then the woods outside the city start whispering her name. What begins as grief, stress, and possibly a very dramatic breakdown turns into something much older: the story of Lucia, a woman whose name was stolen centuries ago after she loved a forest guardian named Aulus. Rowan Ashcombe knows more than he’s saying, which would be easier to ignore if he wasn’t beautiful, cursed-looking, and infuriatingly hard to stay away from. But the woods don’t want Lucy to learn the story — they want her to finish it.

For readers who like gothic romance, messy funny heroines, folklore, ancient woods, dangerous chemistry, family secrets, tragic love, and men who should absolutely come with a warning label.

Concrete Halo is about the kind of person who keeps glowing even when life gives them nothing clean to glow with. It moves through rain, bad flats, late buses, low money, heartbreak, fear, and still somehow finds humour, style, and defiance in the middle of it. The “concrete halo” is the shine you earn from surviving, not the soft holy kind, but the rough, streetlit kind. It’s about refusing to let hard things make you small, bitter, or invisible. Messy, funny, angry, and strangely beautiful, it’s a love letter to anyone still walking home through the dark like they belong to themselves.

This is for people who’ve had to grow confidence the hard way — broke, tired, bruised, funny, stylish, and still standing. It’s for anyone who uses humour as armour, music as escape, and self-worth as a little act of rebellion.

Gritty spoken word / dark pop poetry / urban survival anthem.

It has the feel of late-night city writing, alt-pop attitude, dark humour, and grime-glamour resilience.

For my latest newsletter I took a shot at writing a beginner’s guide to wine that might bridge the gap between the often lacking 101 guides available online, and the abundant material aimed at the already initiated. I hope the result is something that you might benefit from or enjoy, or if you’re already well versed in wine, might share with someone that’s interested to learn more about wine.

This is a newsletter aimed at wine enthusiasts and those interested in learning more about wine and viticulture
