The book trailer for my horror novel The Unmothers. “The truth is…Raeford harbors a secret far more sinister than I could have imagined.” 🐎
THE UNMOTHERS is out on August 6! Preorder now and see why Library Journal called it “[a] triumph of folk horror that will gratify lovers of Midsommar and A Handmaid’s Tale.”
Honored to accept a 2024 Individual Excellence Award in Fiction from the Ohio Arts Council. The committee reviewed a selection from my upcoming novel, The Unmothers (Quirk 2024). I'm so excited to send this book out into the world.
