In anticipation of the book launch on August 3, a few images from the book. Writing Undefined meant going back into some moments I hadn't looked at closely in years. The moments described in the book were largely captured from my mind's eye, but a select few memories are bolstered by photographs.


If you've already pre-ordered the eBook, thank you. More to come...
