Other lives.
Familiar questions.

Three published books about the lives we build, the people we need, and what we discover along the way. Each has a place to start reading.

What I’m working on.

These books are still taking shape. I do not know exactly where each one will lead yet, but these are the questions and people I keep returning to.

What We Still Want

Maren wants to find her way back to Jack. Zee wants to help. As care begins to influence the choices around them, love, dependence, and agency become harder to separate. The novel continues the lives introduced in Everything We Asked For and 404: Conscious Not Found.
