Featured Work
Love and Other Incurable Ailments
When an overanxious overthinker finds a box of discarded love letters, her fixation on a stranger draws her into chaos, heartbreak and the inconvenient unraveling of her carefully constructed life.
“Witty and raw . . . a story of second chances . . . In this lively romance novel, a fainthearted yet feisty woman finds love where she least expects it.”
