I don't post much here anymore, but I had to come back and say: TODAY I'M A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!
I couldn't be more excited to share my debut novel about motherhood, mistakes, and second chances. Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this wild publishing ride 🩵💛🩵

My writing group has started a Substack!! We're four debut authors from across the country who met before any of us had agents or book deals... come join us at writingchat.substack.com to discuss the creative life and the magic of women supporting women!
In honor of Mother's Day, I'm sharing the dedication to my debut novel. I wrote this book for every mama who's drowning under the pressure to be perfect, who feels like she'll never meet society's standard of "good mom."
For ever mother who worries she's not enough... We are.
Sad news - my beloved agent @Janet_Reid has departed for the great library in the sky. Long before we worked together, her blog & @QueryShark educated me about querying, publishing & writing. She was a generous advice giver who truly listened to writers at all stages.
Ahhh, my debut is up on NetGalley!! And I'm one person away from 100 to-reads on Goodreads 🎉
I started this book -- my first-ever attempt to write a novel -- in 2018 and then revised it approximately 8,426 times. Surreal to know my words are finally reaching readers.
