A photo collage of early 1900s images (all black and white) - a luxury liner, a mirror with a hand and face trapped inside, a woman in a straitjacket, a sitting room on a luxury liner, a woman reading a book, a ghostly ship

A photo collage of early 1900s images (all black and white) - a luxury liner, a mirror with a hand and face trapped inside, a woman in a straitjacket, a sitting room on a luxury liner, a woman reading a book, a ghostly ship

When their luxury liner sinks, Edith is rescued by a passing ship.

But one by one, the other survivors disappear...people the crew insist were never on board.

Terrified & unable to escape, Edith must hurry to unearth the ship's sinister secrets or become its latest victim…

A moodboard including pictures of: a hand reaching for an apple, 
a quote from my book: β€œThey never said anything about missing your skin. Could that happen? Could someone miss their skin?”,
two hands clasping over a sword, an anatomical heart frozen held in someone’s hand, an illustration made by me of the two MC's, their faces are pressed close, snow-covered, twisted tree branches, an andean condor with a red eye, a pale hand lying in the snow, a few ponchos in red, black, and cream hues.

Playlist & Vibes for Good Boys Only, an 89,000-word,dual-pov adult plus-size romcom on a split green background, with stock images of two characters, two dogs, a kitchen, and laser tag

Playlist & Vibes for Good Boys Only, an 89,000-word,dual-pov adult plus-size romcom on a split green background, with stock images of two characters, two dogs, a kitchen, and laser tag

First page sample of GOOD BOYS ONLY with stock cut-out images of a plus-size woman and a tattooed man. Polaroid's of tattooed hand holding, a corgi + golden retriever, Red Wings game. TEXT: CHAPTER 1 
Sydney
Sunday, August 4th


Much like my life, my apartment is going up in smoke.
        I choke on the black cloud billowing from the oven. My gourmet dino nuggets have turned to fossils. β€œOh, fuck me,” I groan.
        Lava-like heat bites through my oven mitt, and I drop the sheet pan on the stovetop. Shrill barks echo in tandem with the smoke alarm that’s now going off, piercing my ears like it’s in surround sound, live from Hell. Lovely.
        β€œPiper, Phoebe, get back! I’m trying to save you!” I shoo the orange Pomeranians away from the radiating heat. Dog sitting was supposed to be an easy way to get out of this shithole apartment, not burn it down. Even if I dream about lighting it up most days.
        But the aggressive β€œPast Due” rent letter taped to my door this morning is on the counter, taunting me, like some sick adult version of a haunted house. β€œThanks, Devin,” I spit into the ether, as if he can hear me from Chicago. And a big thanks to me, too, for treating my credit cards like Monopoly money.
        Flicking on the exhaust fan to clear my galley kitchen, I take a misguided deep breath, the cremated dinosaurs sending me into another coughing fit. In a fight for my life, I snag my Getting Figgy With It towel off of the oven door and wave it pathetically below the alarm.

A moodboard with nine images over it is the word "REGENESIS"

A yellow orb with glowing dots inside

Two planets one in darkness the other lit by a sun

A skull sunk in earth and with leaves and vines covering it

The edges of brightly colored feathers that resembles scales

A pink star rising over a planet

Yellow, blue, and orange striped fungus

A decaying skeletal leaf

A hand obscured by psychedelic colors

fungi with a black center in the shape of a human
