A little more information about my WIP! As I work on my final revisions before querying COUNTY CRUSH, I am going to start introducing it here! COUNTY CRUSH is a YA Urban Fantasy, showing where Greek mythology and Midwest folklore intersect.

From my YA Fantasy, COUNTY CRUSH. Elaineโs family has a weird obsession with the county fair. What happens when the rules change?
โThe summer has more to offer than our little county fair, and for once, we want to do other things than play games and watch you study. Does that make sense?โ

Things that inspired me to write during the month of October! ๐๐ค
Raised in a devout Catholic home, Rachel breaks one of the Churchโs most unforgivable rules and spends her life trying to make peace with it. THE SACRAMENTS is a literary story of faith, forgiveness, and what endures after shame.

Rachelโs faith fractures under the weight of her familyโs secrets. Spanning 1960s-80s, THE SACRAMENTS explores trauma, redemption, and the quiet grace that remains when belief fades.

Day #2 of THE SACRAMENTS:
I love reading about faith. Two great examples are PORTRAIT and GILEAD. For Joyce, Catholicism was an inescapable shadow. For Robinson, faith is luminous and sustaining. In THE SACRAMENTS, Rachel Thomas lives at that same intersection: between ritual and rupture.
This October, Iโll be sharing glimpses of my historical fiction novel, THE SACRAMENTS. Set in mid-America from the 1960sโ1980s, THE SACRAMENTS follows Rachel Thomas through decades of ritual, family, faith, and memory. Follow along to learn more!

Iโm a playwright and an aspiring novelist. I am currently querying my adult historical fiction novel, THE SACRAMENTS. I am revising my YA fantasy, THE COUNTY CRUSH.
Iโd love to connect with other writers!
