Fiction

My novel-in-progress, Even the Stars Are Mortal, is a myth adaptation set in Northeast Tennessee that explores the importance of purpose, family, and belonging.

When Karma, keeper of consequences, makes a universe-altering mistake resulting in a human life who shouldn’t exist, she must work with her estranged sisters, the Three Fates, to make room for this young woman before the world itself unravels.
