Our Extended Universe is Out Now!!!
Our Extended Universe is the story of two teens dealing with anxiety and failure who find themselves on an unlikely summer adventure after inexplicably matching as siblings through a DNA site. OEU is based on close family experiences. I relied a lot on my wife, Stacy, and brother-in-law, Ethan, to capture the crisis of identity and reassessment of personal history that they each went through when they found out later in their lives that not only were they donor conceived, but they also had whole constellations of half-siblings out there in the world.
At least that's where the inspiration for this book started. As it came together, I also realized I was working through a lot of my own personal struggles with anxiety and the crisis of identity that can often come along with failure. The end result is Our Extended Universe. It's full of joy, heartache, friendship, humor, and perseverance. My greatest hope is that this book can do for anyone else what it did for me, but failing that, I just hope you enjoy it.
