📚 PRE-ORDER NOW: Tranny Tales

📖 About The Book:

Tranny Tales is a 400-500 page memoir told in three parts to reflect a full-circle journey through cycles of life, learning, and love — with ancestral, inherited, and chosen family. 

Spanning rural China, inner-city Minneapolis, and sunny San Diego, the narrative translates the fundamentals of being human through raw, real stories about housing, food, water, transportation, and even toilets.

Radically personal yet universally relatable across time, space, and cultures, Tranny Tales invites readers to reflect on free will, free choice, freedoms, and the rights to exist freely.
