Podcast

 

Thinking Straight

In the summer of 2023, my partner, Nadine Santoro, and I started a podcast in which we read heterosexual romance novels and analyze their appeal. She works in book publishing and I review books, so we are both prepared for these discussions and hilariously out of our depth.

You can learn more about the pod and listen to all episodes here.

Accelerants (novella)

When Lucy is six years old she finds out two things that will change her life forever: She is an Omni that can control fire, and her power is deadly. Under the sharp watch of her secretive father, Lucy is confronted with the consequences of the worst mistake of her life every day. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, things finally seem like they are getting better—with the promise of freedom at college on the horizon, and the dream that Jessa, the girl of Lucy’s dreams, might reciprocate Lucy’s feelings. But in an instant, everything changes.
