My new coming-of-age mystery will be available March 1, 2026.
This novel follows best friends Milo Ford and Noelle Serrano as they spend one last summer working at Thornbrook Country Club and saving every dollar for their planned escape to Chicago. But Thornbrook isn’t just a backdrop to their dreams, it’s a place built on secrets, quiet power, and the kind of whispers that travel faster than truth. When keys vanish, alibis shift, and a fire ignites more questions than answers, Milo and Noelle find themselves pulled into a dangerous mystery that tests their loyalty, their courage, and their belief in what’s worth fighting for.
Things I Probably Should Share is available. Check it out!
A collection of fifty-three true stories about the ridiculous, unforgettable moments we carry with us. From childhood disasters to workplace mishaps and family chaos, these essays turn awkward memories into something funny, oddly comforting, and unexpectedly moving. Available now on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardcover editions.
My debut novel, The Soundtrack of Gay Lives is available for purchase.
A mixtape in story form with fifty short stories inspired by the songs that shaped one man’s life. Structured like a double LP, the collection moves through love, loss, longing, and belonging, capturing queer memory in all its messy, tender, and unforgettable moments. It’s a love letter to music, to memory, and to the ways stories linger long after the last note fades. Available now on Amazon in Kindle, paperback and hardcover editions.
