When unapologetic curmudgeon and cat-lady Amanda Carey flings open her front door expecting to find the local juvenile delinquents who've been tormenting her, she almost shoots the shivering social media influencer—her niece, Angel—who has arrived in search of refuge. Fortunately, Amanda Carey lowers the gun, but the women's problems aren't over, and even as they edge toward a mutually-supportive relationship, the men and boys who hate them circle ever closer, intent on exacting revenge. My novel, Miserable, Wisconsin, is currently "on submission" with Jamie Chambliss of Folio Literary right now. Fingers crossed that it finds the perfect home.
While Miserable makes the rounds, I'm hard at work on another novel that I'm tentatively calling What We Missed in Harbor Park. (Yes, I see it: another geographically-based title). Harbor Park is also about two women whose lives intersect because of family and tragedy, and takes on issues of addiciton, foster care, adoption, and "family building." Stay tuned for more info as this manuscript continues to develop!
And I'm writing short stories, always. My most recent piece, "Normal Poetry," which I had the good fortune ot workshop at the Vermont College of Fine Arts summer post-grad workshop (with an amazing group of writiers led by Ellen Lesser), is in the Winter 2026 issue of the Little Patuxent Review.
