During the 2020 lockdown, after completing my 29th book as a ghostwriter for successful entrepreneurs, I gave up the ghost.

​​​

In the fall of 2024, I entered Scottsdale Community College to complete an Associate's degree in creative writing. I'll graduate in the winter of 2025. Arizona State University will follow 2026 - 2028 for my bachelor’s, with an MFA 2029-2030 from Iowa Writers’ Workshop, NYU, Cambridge, or Columbia. ​

​​

As of May 2025, I’m crafting a literary fiction novel with magical realism influence, a biography, a creative nonfiction take on entrepreneurial thinking  (insights from 74 global entrepreneurs), seven short stories from different genres and a poetry collection about an AI and a Human trying to sort out their identities (intended for traditional publication), and a short film about the struggle to figure out one's creative talent (which I intend to compete in the Short Film Palme d'Or at Cannes). 
 

I’m also a journalist and podcast host of Lyrical Detectives: AI Meiya & Human Joey, bringing my narrative craft to some new beats.
