Works In Progress

A look at the stories currently taking shape.

From picture books to middle-grade and adult fiction, these are the stories I’m still writing, revising, and preparing for what comes next.

Mia's Dam Goes BAM!

Rhyming Picture Book • Ages 3–5 • In Progress

Mia builds a dam with all of her might,
but CRASH! It comes down—and nothing feels right.

She’s ready to quit, but her big brother Sam
helps Mia learn something from her broken-down dam.

With each little mistake, she discovers a clue—
and soon she knows just what she needs to do!

The Thing About Zoe

Middle-Grade Fiction • Ages 8–12 • In Progress

Eleven-year-old Zoe is convinced everyone has a “thing”—something they’re naturally good at, passionate about, or known for. Determined to find hers, she sets out to try just about everything, only to discover that maybe the most interesting thing about her can’t be narrowed down to just one thing at all.

The Summer We Couldn’t Leave

Adult Fiction • In Progress

In the summer of 1987, six friends make a decision that will follow them for the rest of their lives. Thirty-nine years later, the death of one of their own brings the remaining five back together—and forces them to reconsider everything they thought they knew about the summer that changed them.
