Set in a playful resort of reflective surfaces, the story chronicles Sybil, a curious girl who stumbles upon a mysterious ghost—wearing flamboyant clown attire and leaving behind gleaming clues. His laughter-filled interventions not only spark wonder but unfold into a deeper narrative of a bygone soul seeking to heal through playful mischief.

For 437 years, Roxy, a brilliant yet tormented composer, has searched the cosmos for the Eternal Song—a melody that holds the key to universal harmony.

But just when she believes the song is complete, a mystery beyond sound emerges—an eighth note never meant to exist. Will she compose the first melody of a new universe—or be lost in the silence forever?

With humour and heart, he recounts his bad-boy antics and the resilience and refuge that intense male friendships can provide.
