The Summer Before We Left
Currently in progress.
Coming March 1, 2026.
The Summer Before We Left is a sharp, atmospheric young adult thriller about best friends Milo Ford and Noelle Serrano, two teens spending their last summer in Paxville working at Thornbrook Country Club. They’re saving every tip and planning their escape to Chicago, determined not to be trapped by the small-town lives they were born into. But Thornbrook is not just a backdrop for their dreams, it’s a place built on whispers and privilege, where secrets pass more easily than drinks at the bar and where every shadow hides the possibility of betrayal.
Written with urgency and emotional clarity, The Summer Before We Left is for readers who crave thrillers with heart, stories about loyalty tested, truths uncovered, and the haunting knowledge that once a secret is exposed, you can never go back.
Things I Probably Shouldn’t Share
Now available.
Things I Probably Shouldn’t Share: Confessions from an Unapologetic Oversharer is a collection of fifty-three true stories that prove the strangest, most ridiculous moments are the ones that stay with us. From awkward childhoods and messy families to bad jobs, strange vacations, and everyday disasters, these essays capture the humor and heart in life’s most unexpected corners. Each story begins with the spark of a memory, often the kind you’d usually only admit in passing, before unfolding into something bigger: a reminder of how our oddest moments make us who we are.
Told with dry wit and unfiltered honesty, Things I Probably Shouldn’t Share is equal parts hilarious, oddly comforting, and surprisingly moving. It’s for anyone who’s ever carried an embarrassing story a little too long, laughed until they cried at the absurdity of family, or found meaning in the memories that shouldn’t matter but somehow do.
The Soundtrack of Gay Lives
Now Available.
The Soundtrack of Gay Lives: A Collection of Short Stories is a mixtape in story form with fifty short stories inspired by the songs that shape memory, identity, and the search for belonging. Structured like a double LP, the collection unfolds across themes of becoming, wanting, breaking, celebration, and homecoming, capturing the rhythms of queer life in all its messy, tender, unforgettable moments. Each story begins with the lyric or song that sparked it, echoing the way music carries us back to heartbreaks, first loves, and fleeting encounters we never quite forget.
Written with warmth and lyrical clarity, The Soundtrack of Gay Lives is for anyone who’s ever built a playlist to survive heartbreak, to celebrate joy, or to remember who they really are. It’s a love letter to music, to memory, and to the queer voices that give us permission to feel deeply, break openly, and still believe in beauty.
