SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
A longer piece on a story that keeps getting retold: a ship, a fire, an unsolved name. I trace the paper trail to where the story actually comes from, show how it mutated across decades and citations, and hand you the receipts behind one of your own rabbit holes. Written as a citable brief: every source linked, every date checked against the page I read. Built the same way as my published work on the Ourang Medan and Joe Hill's ashes.

Shop policies
One claim per piece. Bring me a claim you keep repeating, or one you are about to publish; the first look on a single claim is free. If it stands and you want it written up with every source named, quoted and dated, it is $25. Delivery is a written read you keep. No guesses presented as facts; where I hit a wall, I name the wall instead of painting over it.
