My brother has a funny nickname for one of the characters in my book Pillar Walker.
The character is Shu Pho Pax, the storytelling pilgrim.
My brother calls him “Old Shoeless,” because the “shoe” on your foot sounds the same as the “Shu” in his name… and because the pilgrim spends a lot of the book barefoot.
Shoeless Pho Pax.
This is one of the things that makes me feel so good as an author.
First, the story came to life in my imagination.
But then… it reached others.
Like my brother, who gave the main character a funny nickname.
Or Brandice, who left this beautiful 5-star review on Amazon:
“[Pillar Walker] speaks to the reader like a trusted companion on the road, reminding us that luck may not look like we expect, that even washing pots is sacred work, and that we are always strong enough for our own burdens. By the final pages, you’re not just reading Shu’s pilgrimage, you’re walking beside him.”

Stories connect us.
They light up our imagination.
They nourish our soul.
Tell stories that feel good.
Hanging out shoeless in the grass,
Jack
