The Stranger is a one-of-a-kind journey—born from music and reborn in words. It began as a nine-song album, each track a piece of a larger story. After finishing the album—recorded, mastered, and ready—I realized the story could go even deeper. I dove back into history, peeling back layers of time, and "The Stranger" became a book.As I wrote, I teamed up with fellow musician and friend Harrison Gast, who was also crafting his first book. Together, we let our characters meet, intertwining their paths and forming a new universe that transcends the page.This book is more than a story; it’s a bridge between song and page. Each chapter is inspired by a song, and in a groundbreaking twist, every chapter contains a special barcode. By scanning it, you’ll unlock the song tied to that chapter, letting you listen as the story unfolds.Right now, "The Stranger" is in the final stages of publishing, and along with the album, we’re launching a full merch line. You can expect a bundle deal that pairs the book, album, and exclusive merchandise. The official release is set for August 10th, 2026.Once the book is fully published, you’ll be able to order your copy—hardback, paperback, eBook, or audiobook—so stay tuned, and prepare to step into this universe where music and storytelling collide.
