A Note From Me
As I’ve come to see things...
Hi, I’m Deb — a mother, a grandmother, and someone who has spent much of her life thinking about things that don’t always have clear answers.
For a long time, I thought I needed to have things figured out.
Now, I’m more interested in understanding the questions themselves.
This space is, in many ways, a reflection of that shift.

“Some thoughts stay with us longer than others.”
Some ideas refuse to arrive all at once.
They reveal themselves slowly, one fragment at a time, asking us not simply to understand them, but to allow them to change us.
The Anamnesis Cipher is a philosophical novel unfolding through twelve fragments.
What begins as the discovery of an ancient cipher gradually becomes a journey into memory, identity, and the quiet realisation that we are never just one person.
Throughout our lives, we leave behind countless versions of ourselves, each believing it understood the world - shaped by every question we dare to ask, every belief we choose to challenge, and every truth we discover for ourselves.
The greatest mystery may not be hidden within the pages of the book.
It may be hidden within us...
