Welcome to the staysafebesties.com, my name is Mani Souphom but I'm also known as Axiom Skylark (my previous penname was Max V. Clark)! I’m a novelist, musician, and journalist, passionate about blending creativity and truth through storytelling. My work spans from writing novels and composing music to reporting stories that matter to real people. I believe in the power of stories to connect, comfort, and inspire! And I’m all about using creativity as a force for good.

I'm working on building my creative portfolio across the board, so consider this site "under construction." Always building, always growing! Stay a while, explore, and let’s keep creating a kinder world, one story, one piece of art at a time.
