A memoir based on a true story
The Girl in the Window is a true story of survival told through the eyes of a child who learned early how to stay quiet and stay alive.
Behind drawn curtains and locked doors, fear was constant, but so was resilience.
This memoir traces the long shadow of abuse and the hard-won courage it took to step into the light.
A psychological thriller
When a woman begins dreaming about the night her parents were murdered, she starts asking questions her hometown never wanted answered.
What she uncovers reveals secrets buried far deeper than she imagined.
Disappearing Tide
An Investigative Thriller
The first novel in the Shadow Route Series, Disappearing Tide launches a high-stakes investigation into disappearances along the coast—where every lead opens the door to something deeper, darker, and far more organized than anyone is prepared for.
The Old Sycamore
My first children’s book, The Old Sycamore: A Safe Place, was born from a collaboration with retired educator and school administrator Peter LaFaivre.
Together, we created The Old Sycamore with a simple but powerful purpose: to help children understand that when something doesn’t feel right, when they feel scared, confused, or unsafe, they can talk to a trusted adult.
Through a gentle story centered around a watchful old sycamore tree that has stood quietly through generations, children are reminded that their feelings matter. Their voices matter. And they never have to carry difficult things alone.
Sometimes the bravest thing a child can do is speak up. We want them to know there will always be someone willing to listen.
Each story stands on its own—but all are rooted in memory, resilience, and the cost of silence.
