I’m writing this because I’m not just a writer—I have other interests, too. And one of them, like many of you, is in the place we call home. In our state. In our systems. In the corruption that could just as easily target any one of us. We could be Karen Read. That’s why I feel obligated to write...
AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE? I realize I have discussed this before—why wouldn’t I, when these are the topics of my last two books? I feel like it can’t be talked about enough. When I recently found myself drawing a parallel between the issues of addiction and sexual assault during a book talk, I...
Let’s be honest—most of us are just walking around like real-life Batman, except instead of fighting crime in a cool suit, we’re out here subconsciously trying to fix our own past mistakes, rewrite our traumas, or undo the absolute mess someone else made of our lives. Some people go to therapy....
The Glamorous Lie of the Writing Life If you tell people you’re a writer, they tend to react in one of two ways: either with wide-eyed admiration or a polite but barely concealed look of skepticism. “Oh, wow!

The holidays are a season of joy and togetherness—but for some, they can be bittersweet. This year, I find myself in an odd space. While I enjoy the festive sights of shop windows and a gentle snowfall outside, December marks a significant personal loss. Yesterday, December 7th, was the one-year...
Election season has come and gone, and it seems our country is more divided than ever. As a writer, I’ve often kept my distance from politics, hoping that staying neutral would serve me best. But this year, watching the results unfold, I feel an urge to share my perspective—even if only to make...
"There is only one thing that can replace a book: the next book." -Piotr Kowalczyk Hey friends, The launch of The Summer Before is officially a wrap, and I couldn’t be happier! A huge thank you to everyone, especially my incredible launch squad, for your unwavering support. It means so much to me....
It’s finally here—The Summer Before’s official launch day! I’m thrilled, but let’s be real: I’m also completely exhausted. Between all the marketing, social media, and endless blogging, my hands are practically claws at this point. I could use a robot (or three paid assistants). Selling a book...
