About the work

A closer look.

Name the thing that won't sit still: a payment with no payer, a record with a name scraped out, the office behind a decision, an ancestor whose trail just stops. I don't stop at the document. A warrant proves a seal was used, not whose will it was. So I follow the money and the office that kept it. An erasure is a claim too, and every erased name I've chased has lived on somewhere the eraser didn't control. My hardest case: a dead noble house whose own revenue, collected by the overlord's receiver, paid for the swords that killed it, the seal that unmade its lands, and the keep of one surviving boy. It closed because the boring records (household accounts, livery rolls, seal registers, toll ledgers) name hands the story never did. What you send: one clear question, plus whatever you already have. What you get back: a written trace with the sources, or a plain statement of exactly where the record goes silent.
