Currently, I am looking to publish my new novel which is tentatively titled "Harvest Moon."

I am also looking back at previously published short stories and essays, doing some rewrites,
and preparing them for an anthology, so come back for more news as things move forward.

My two novels published with Black Bomb Books are In The Fat and The Last Last Fight

 

	It’s March 1975 in rural Oregon, and Sam Hollander is getting ready to run away. She’s planning on bringing her siblings and Mom, too. But first, she has to finish high school, hope a nearby college accepts her, and convince Mom — even when she’s being Psycho Bitch Mom — to leave their doublewide life behind. Most of all, Sam hopes her abusive father doesn’t come home. But speak of the Devil. And if Mom barely survived their first last fight, then how will any of them find a way out after the last last fight. Sammi’s got a brutal haul to the other side, where it really seems that sometimes Life is too small for Dads. “This heart-rending story about troubled people—some broken beyond repair, others surviving with stunning strength—is liberally sprinkled with colloquialisms that bring the culture, place, and time to life. … A haunting but captivating novel featuring poignant characters.” ~ Kirkus Reviews You can purchase this novel here
	Innocence. That's the real problem for Skyler Canter Reems, a thirteen-year-old Portland girl with some serious trouble. In The Fat is the story of a twenty-first century girl dealing with the issues of molestation, self harm, and institutionalization in a place with the unlikely nickname The Fat. In The Fat was chosen as one of the best novels of 2016 by the Multnomah County Library Association. You can purchase this novel here
	Small Minutes is a short story about a girl named Audinita, who would rather face death than have lunch with her mother. Small Minutes is available in paperback or Kindle at amazon.com
