It Will Set You Free

(available here on Indiebound)

Seventeen-year-old Ashling has always been a small-town girl, so when her home life blows up and her mother reacts by whisking her off to Brooklyn for the summer, Ash is forced to leave her simple life on a quiet street behind.

When her cute neighbor, Andy, coaxes her out of her apartment, taps into her creative side, and shows her everything the city has to offer, Ash decides to give the city (and other people) a chance—until she’s burned again: this time by both her father and Andy.

Just when Ash is ready to give up, her favorite community art space is faced with closure. Will Ashling be able to devise a plan to save it before it’s too late?

Works-in-progress

I’m currently working on a novel about pandemic-era motherhood, IVF, the future of work, loss, grief, and mental health.

I’m also working on a screenplay about queer romance, addiction, identity, and finding humor in dark places.

At any one time, I’m at work on a number of short stories and essays about parenting, time, entrepreneurship, self-care, and more.
