My Husband Is Two Years Older Than My Son (Published 2024)
Our 19-year age gap feels treacherous and gossip inducing — and is also the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Here's a teaser of The Out, releasing 9/16/25!
We lean into our electronic influences here. A little #ebm to compliment our #postpunk and #gothmusic style. The torn paper effect in the vid was done by printing out the pics and photographing each rip, then comping them together like stop-motion.

Ummm, this. This novel blew me away. I've always been a fan of this author, but jeez-laweez, Sleeping Giants moved me. The message was a powerful one, too.
I couldn't put it down.

I can't wait to read your new collection!!!
You guys, I'm really, really excited about my collection-in-progress. I am loving writing these stories. I feel like, at 64, I've finally found my truest voice. It's exhilarating and terrifying. 🥹
