CBC Drift partialHopefully available by the end of the month, Drift is a standalone novel inspired by fairy tales and folklore, with a splash of American gothic.

After her mother’s funeral, Dani nearly drowns at the lake where she’s lived her entire life. She learned to swim before she could walk, but the water tingles and prickles over her skin, drawing her under.

She’s saved by a stranger trespassing on her father’s boat who claims that the rains follow him, who sees when her father treats her the way a father shouldn’t.

Her mother left behind more than just memories and an empty lake house. And if Dani can’t find it, she’ll never break free from the shackles that her mother couldn’t escape.

“I have so much to tell you, my love. I can only hope that you heard me.”

It’s on the internet now, so it must be true.

I intend to self-publish Nocturne—my first novel and a YA horror standalone—somewhere in the realm of late September or early October of this year.

I also plan on self-publishing Thorns—the first book in my fairy tale remix series—in November or December, but that will ultimately depend on how soon I can get my cover commissioned and on what editor in his or her right mind will tackle a very long novel. It may need to be in January or February instead.

Suffice it to say, no more waffling. These books have had multiple edits, multiple eyes. It’s time.
