Today is the day! I am releasing my debut novel, The Midnight Huntress, on all major platforms. This novel is the manifestation of one of my major goals complete and I can’t believe the day is actually here.

Everything You Need to Know About My New Project

I recently reached over 100 followers on Instagram! Before I made it to 100, I promised a special surprise for when I reached my goal. So here it is! Today, I’m unveiling my current work in process, The Midnight Huntress. In this post, I will be answering all of the questions I believe people would have, but if you have any others, please leave a comment down below. 

Fountain of Youth

Julie stands on the desolate sidewalk, staring at her feet. Even though it is midday, the sidewalk is barren, except for Julie who is pondering her life decisions while continuing to stare at her toes. The rattling sound of a trolley car on an abandoned track breaks her from her trance. The trolley cars are only dragged out for an overpaying resident or tourist, “who want the full effect of town,” making them a rare sight. She looks up and squints her eyes to see an old wooden trolley car, covered in cracking paints in various pastels. It clearly has been sitting in a city yard for a while, aging in silence. In the center of the trolley car’s paint job is a fresh sticker proclaiming, “You’re Next!” To Julie’s dismay, the second line says, “Forever Young.”

The 3 Most Embarrassing Poems I've Written

I love the concept of new year, new me. It’s wonderful to hide all of the embarrassing moments of the past year and move on with your life. However, I also think that at times you have to remember where you came from, which struck the idea for this blog post.

When Does the Loneliness Set In?

The loneliness sets in at night, when you’re in bed with your eyes closed, waiting for sleep to take you into his arms. But in those fifteen minutes, when you are trying to drift away, you suddenly become aware of the emptiness around you.

Grief Pools Part 2: Rivkey

This is the final part of my short story "Grief Pools" that I posted yesterday. If you haven't read the first part with Nora you can find it linked here. I hope you enjoy the ending! Feel free to leave a comment down below. Happy reading!

Grief Pools Part 1: Nora

Hey everyone. After many months of not sharing some writing, I decided to share a reworked fiction piece about love and grief. Fiction isn't always my strong suit since I  mainly focus on nonfiction, but I thought the story fit in well with my theme of love this month. Since this short story is a little long, I split into two parts. One part today with the first narrator, Nora. Tomorrow, I will post the second part, with the second narrator Rivkey. A link to tomorrows post will be here and at the end of this part. I hope you enjoy this short story! Feel free to leave your comments down below. 

Redlight

The following is an excerpt from a long nonfiction essay titled "Redlight." "Redlight" chronicles my indecision between making a life in my small hometown after college, or moving somewhere different. These sections appear in a different order within the entire essay, but I feel like they work in this order also. Feel free to leave a comment if you would like to read the rest of the essay. I hope you enjoy.

The following piece was a written assignment for my creative nonfiction writing workshop. It was inspired by Jenny Boully’s “I Remain Very Sorry for What I Did to the Little Black Kitten” on Brevity. A link to find that piece is here. Hope you enjoy!
