every/word

every / word is my way of honoring my father, Clarence Giles, a storyteller in every sense of the word. Before Alzheimer’s began dimming the spark of his creative mind in 2011, he left behind an archive of fiction — published works, forgotten notes, and story fragments brimming with imagination.

every / word is a place where I collect, share, and celebrate those writings while weaving in my own creative journey: short stories, poems, and novel excerpts that were inspired by my father’s unwavering passion for storytelling.

Writing is my way of carrying on his legacy, exploring the worlds he dreamed of, and shaping my own. Whether you’re here for nostalgia, creative inspiration, or simply to enjoy good stories, I’m grateful you’ve found this space.

every / word that he didn’t publish helps to tell his(story).

This is our shared journey through fiction, prose, & poetry — his, mine, and maybe even yours.
