Meeks

Book One of the Meeks Series

In Toronto, Ranleigh Meeks finds a door he shouldn’t open. On the other side is the life he’s always wanted, and the kind of hunger that doesn’t stop once it’s fed.

 

 

Meeks is a descent into addiction, illusion, and consequence.

The Ranleigh Tapes

Book Two of the Meeks Series

​

The tape recorder is running.

Ranleigh Echo Meeks has nowhere left to hide. In recovery’s most brutal requirement, the Fifth Step, he confesses everything to his sponsor. Every secret. Every lie. Every moment that drove him to rock bottom.

The Ranleigh Tapes pulls you into the room for a confession so raw and unguarded you won't be able to stop listening.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I had the rough idea for Meeks in my early twenties. I didn't know his name yet, but I knew what happened to him. I thought, "That's a book," and then I didn't write it.

​

At 50, I decided to knock on Ranleigh's door. He answered, despite his anxiety problem, put the kettle on and told me his story.

​

Ranleigh Meeks isn't me, but I know him well.

​

I've been sober for 24 years. I needed every one of them to tell Ranleigh's story.

​

I live in Toronto (as does Ranleigh). I have knocked on his door many times over the last few years. He never turns me away.

 

I’ll be with him until the last book is done.
