When I set out to publish my first book, I told myself I’d aim for just one release in 2025. One little book out in the world. A nice, achievable goal.
Well… turns out I got a little carried away. By the end of this year, I’ll have multiple books out — a mix of cozy fiction, spooky paranormal, and deeply personal stories. Each of them has a thread in common: main characters navigating life with anxiety, in all its messy, honest, sometimes funny forms.
Here’s the lineup so far:
✅ I’m Still Here — Released September 2025
My debut novel. A heartfelt, sometimes raw story about motherhood, friendship, and finding yourself again after years of survival mode. It’s contemporary women’s fiction with plenty of anxiety spirals, snark, and hope woven in.
🍂 Fearless (Book 1) — Released Fall 2025
The start of my cozy mountain-town knitting series. This one is all yarn, friendships, and a cat with too much attitude (Yak, the unofficial star). Think Friday Night Knitting Club meets small-town Colorado, with a Taylor Swift-inspired scarf at the heart of it.
👻 Thin Walls — Coming October 1, 2025
A paranormal suspense set in a haunted Chicago apartment. When a TV producer uncovers the tragic story of a radio host silenced in the 1980s, the past and present start bleeding together. Old mirrors, ghostly echoes, and women’s voices demanding to be heard. Perfect for spooky season.
🕯 Ghosted by My Therapist — Coming November 1, 2025
A mind-bending, slightly surreal paranormal story that blends psychological suspense with the uncanny. Therapy sessions, time glitches, peppermint air, and the creeping realization that your mind may not be entirely your own.
❄️ Fearless (Book 2) — Coming December 1, 2025
Back in Woodvale for another knit-a-long — this time with a winter/holiday vibe. Snowy nights, community coziness, a contest involving hats for Yak the cat, and the kinds of friendships that carry you through the hardest seasons.
Looking Ahead
By the time the year wraps up, I’ll have five very different books on my shelf — but all of them share the same heartbeat: characters who overthink, worry, and stumble through their anxiety, but keep moving forward anyway.
Thanks for following along on this little whirlwind of a year. If you pick up one (or all!) of these books, I hope you find a character, a line, or a moment that makes you feel a little less alone.
