Guest in the Gallery
A study of appearance versus authenticity, set against Newport's social backdrop. When identity becomes performance, what's left of the real person underneath?

I write about the messy reality of being human—the gap between who we think we are and how we actually behave. From novels to essays, I explore the patterns that shape us and the stories we tell ourselves.

I'm fascinated by the contradictions of human behavior—why we overthink simple interactions, how we perform different versions of ourselves, and the stories we create to make sense of modern life.
My background spans journalism, studying human behavior, and years behind the bar, watching people navigate everything from first dates to final arguments. This combination of observation and experience shapes every story I tell, whether it's fiction or essays exploring what makes us tick.

"I was surprised. I thought the synopsis sounded interesting and I just thought, let's give it a try. :) It's rare for me to actually finish a book by an author I haven't read before, but Sinclair somehow manages to make you feel like you've been there the whole time. Definitely worth reading!"
"Sinclair has a gift for capturing the subtle dynamics of human relationships. 'Guest in the Gallery' is a masterful debut that lingers long after the final page."
