My name is Jackson and I am a writer.
Come explore the world with me.

Were you ever in a situation on Earth when you suddenly, and without reason, felt peaceful? Like everything was going to end up all right? Or maybe you felt like someone you lost was there with you?

There is a better-than-likely chance that was your Guardian Angel.

Guarding Lily is a heart-wrenching story of love, loss, and the quiet, enduring connection that proves “until death do us part” is not quite enough.

Guarding Lily

Guarding Lily title text as it is written on the cover.

Were you ever in a situation when you suddenly and without reason felt peaceful. Like everything was going to end up alright?
That was your Guardian Angel.

After arriving in Heaven, Bob chose to become his wife Lily’s Guardian Angel. That decision was easy, but he soon discovered that loving her from a distance was the hardest thing he had ever done.

My
Story

My name is Jackson and I want to share my ideas with the world. I plan to do that the best way I know how, through my writing. Whether it is my Substacks, socials, my (future) books, or anything else, I want to help people see the world a little differently and help them realize that they are not alone.

The short version of my story is that I am a writer from Southern California who’s endlessly fascinated by how we connect with one another. I try to write stories that walk the line between reality and fantasy, akin to Mitch Albom, Paulo Coelho, and many of my other writing idols. In my perfect world, readers of my content will leave feeling a little mystified, a little more seen, and a little less alone.

My name is Jackson and my dream is to share my ideas with the world. I plan to do that the best way I know how, through my writing. Through my books, Substacks, socials, and anything else I can, I want to help people see the world a little differently and help them realize that they are not alone.
