So my latest book is finished, has been for over a month, and I am currently querying agents. This process is a lot like the worst dating app you could imagine, you put yourself out there, and no one swipes right. Terrible for the ego. If it does get picked up you could see it out in a year, if not I'll release it this summer. I have a link to the possible cover below.

I just finished my new Ya Dystopian novel about climate change, food insecurity, the rise of fascism, and the perils of corporate farming. I am currently in the beta reader phase. nad will be looking to publish soon.

I just finished the first draft of my new near-future YA dystopia. It's a departure for me but a lot of fun to write and I think it touches on some important issues.

Capitol Punishment is now available. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
