Little White Flowers In-Person Book Launch
On July 3rd, 2025, I had my in-person book launch for Little White Flowers at the Orono Public Library. I did a reading and Q&A session, and we concluded the event with door prizes and a book signing. We had a great turnout despite the inclement weather, and people asked fantastic questions. It was wonderful to have the chance to talk about my book and my writing process with such an engaged audience.
Thank you so much to the Orono Public Library for hosting and especially to librarian Maddy Gernhard for putting together the event. Thank you also to everyone who attended.

Little White Flowers is Now Available!
"This book is an absolute standout! A chilling blend of mystery, buried secrets, and creeping tension that had me hooked from the beginning!"
-Instagram reviewer @portlock_reads
My debut novel, Little White Flowers, is now available! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this dream a reality! Special shout-out to my editor, my cover team, the friends and family who have stood behind me during this journey, and my readers. It's an incredible feeling to write a story but even more amazing to know that story is finding a home in the hearts and minds of others.
You can purchase my novel at multiple retailers including Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, Amazon, Apple, Google Play Books, and many other online stores. Order from your preferred retailer here.
If you do read the book, please consider leaving a review on Goodreads, Amazon, Google, or a platform of your choosing. And if you want to be among the first to know the latest news about Book 2 as well as my other writing projects, sign up for my newsletter or follow me on social media.

"Jane" Roundtable Discussion
On September 25th, 2024, I had the pleasure of participating in a roundtable discussion about my short story "Jane," featured in Grizzly: A Charity Anthology. The panel was hosted by the University of Maine Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program and featured panelists Hollie Adams (English/creative writing) Elizabeth Neiman (WGS studies/English) Jessica Miller (Philosophy) and Julia McGuire (Biology). It was a joy to have the opportunity to address my story and writing process through a variety of disciplinary lenses. I also donated a copy of Grizzly to Fogler Library at the conclusion of the event. Thank you so much to Elizabeth Neiman and the WGS Department for hosting me
