Excited and honored to share the cover art for my forthcoming novel: IF THE DEAD BELONG HERE, available 10/7/2025 from @vikingbooks.bsky.social.
It features @christibelcourt.com's stunning piece entitled, “Bird Song,” which feels wholly tied to the heart of this book.

The first assessment of THE SLIP has arrived, and it’s a starred review from Kirkus. I won’t play it cool—this was definitely on the writer bucket list! Grateful for their kind words. THE SLIP comes out 6/3 from @simonbooks.bsky.social!

An incomplete compilation of books I’m looking forward to this year—works from @jonvhickey.bsky.social, @erikatwurth.bsky.social, @thedennemichele.bsky.social, and Alejandro Heredia. Even if it won’t be a good year for everything, let it be a good one for books.

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and yesterday I got to hand my grandma a book with a story I wrote about our people. It was inspired by her brother Berlin, who she lost before this photo of her with some of her siblings was taken.
