CHASING FOOTNOTES

What is Chasing Footnotes about?

Chasing Footnotes is a thought-provoking exploration of how our personal histories—especially the subtle, often-overlooked details—shape who we become. It challenges readers to move beyond surface-level understanding and examine the deeper patterns, beliefs, and inherited narratives that quietly influence their lives.

This book isn't about revisiting the past for its own sake—it's about reclaiming authorship. It offers a framework for recognizing what truly drives you, so you can move forward with clarity, alignment, and purpose.

Is this a memoir or a self-help book?

Neither, in the traditional sense. While Chasing Footnotes includes personal moments, they are used purposefully—to illuminate core insights rather than to chronicle a life. The heart of the book lies in its clear-eyed analysis, distilled experience, and hard-won inner knowings.

This is a book for the thinking seeker—for those who want more than vague inspiration. It's an invitation to examine the patterns beneath your story, question inherited beliefs, and reconnect with what is quietly, powerfully true. Each chapter is both a mirror and a guide—designed to challenge, clarify, and deepen your understanding of yourself.

Who is this book for?

This book is for those who are done skimming the surface of their lives. It's for thinkers, feelers, and seekers—people who want to make sense of their inner world with precision and depth. Whether you're navigating a transition, breaking generational patterns, or simply craving a more authentic way of living, Chasing Footnotes offers insight and direction.

If you've ever sensed that there's more to your story—and you're ready to look honestly at what lies beneath—this book was written with you in mind.

Where can I buy the book?

Chasing Footnotes is available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and Kindle formats.

Why did you choose to self-publish?

As an intellectual property lawyer, I understand the weight that comes with branding, titles, and so-called prestige. But I'm not driven by external stamps of approval—I'm driven by truth, clarity, and real connection. I chose to self-publish because this book wasn't written for gatekeepers. It was written for people—for those who can see beyond the label, beyond the platform, and into the substance of the message.

Self-publishing gave me the freedom to protect the integrity of the work, to move on my own terms, and to speak directly to the reader without dilution or delay. This is a book for those who want something real—not packaged perfection, but honest insight that meets them where they are.

Will there be an audiobook version?

Possibly! An audiobook version will be considered based on demand.

Do you offer coaching, workshops, or talks based on the book's themes?

Very selectively. While I occasionally offer talks, workshops, or one-on-one guidance, I do so with great intention. My focus is not on scaling or mass engagement, but on meaningful connection—working with those who are truly ready to engage with their inner world in a deep and honest way.

Can I invite you to speak at my event or podcast?

Yes—if the conversation is rooted in authenticity, depth, and a genuine desire to explore the human experience, I'd be glad to consider it. I'm drawn to spaces where real dialogue is valued over performance, and where ideas can unfold with honesty and nuance.

What inspired the title Chasing Footnotes?

Chasing Footnotes is a metaphorical phrase that speaks to the often-unseen threads running through our lives—the overlooked moments, inherited beliefs, quiet longings, and silenced truths that shape us in ways we don't always realize. Just like footnotes in a book, these elements aren't found in the main narrative—they live in the margins, offering context, nuance, and meaning if we choose to look closer.

The title reflects an intellectual and emotional journey—an ongoing search for deeper understanding. It invites the reader to become a kind of seeker, to turn toward what's subtle or hidden in their own story, and in doing so, uncover the richness and power of what truly defines them. It's about finding significance in what may not be immediately visible—and allowing that deeper truth to guide you toward greater authenticity, healing, and self-creation.

What inspired you to write Chasing Footnotes?

This book was born not from ambition, but from a quiet, undeniable knowing—an inner summons that arrived swiftly and with absolute clarity. It wasn't something I pondered or debated. When the call came, I recognized it instantly and responded without hesitation. There was no room for doubt—only a deep, anchored sense that this was what I was meant to do.

Chasing Footnotes emerged from years of reflection, growth, and integration—yet when the moment came to write, it moved through me with rare urgency and ease. I felt a profound responsibility to share what I had come to understand—not just for the sake of storytelling, but in service of those walking their own path of becoming.

This book is an offering—an invitation to look beyond the visible, into the hidden threads of our personal narratives. My vision is to help others live more honestly, love more openly, and reconnect with the quiet but powerful truth of who they really are.
