Her debut novel, Edge of Sundown, was re-released in January 2024.

Her short stories and essays have been published in As It Ought to Be, Quail Bell, Ink Foundry, To L.A. With Love, Hooghly Review, West England Bylines, NECKSNAP Magazine, Broken Antler Magazine, Channel Magazine, and many other fine magazines and anthologies.
