I'm so excited to share that my novel, THESE HEATHENS, has been longlisted for the 2026 Aspen Words Literary Prize. This book is so close to my heart and I'm so very proud of it.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

The "outside agitator" narrative pre-dates the Civil Rights Movement as well. It was supposedly outside agitators who were responsible for filling the otherwise docile and grateful slaves' heads with all that crazy talk of freedom, causing drapetomania.
