My medical thriller fiction captures the grit of The Pitt—through my medical experience and professional lens. 1st draft written before the show aired! Imagine reading each scene within the pages of a hardcover… through the lens of a badass nurse 😏🩺

I liked THE PITT, didn't care so much for ADOLESCENCE, haven't gotten to THE STUDIO.

Have you streamed any of my three favorite series: ADOLESCENCE, THE PITT, and THE STUDIO?

What would it feel like to be the #nurse who mends broken bodies while quietly carrying #scars no one sees? My #debutnovel has all the feels. #medicalsuspense #domesticthriller

They said, “You’re just the nurse.”

But I saw everything.
I held their hands,
calmed their fear,
witnessed their last breath.

So no, I’m not “just” anything.

That’s why I write.

Writers/Authors! Have you ever said to yourself, “If I had a work bestie as awesome as the one I created in my story, work would be more digestible.”

Or is it just me?
