A year ago today I finished my first novel.
Today, I signed a contract with my dream literary agent. I am so excited to share that my work is now represented by @irisblasi.bsky.social of Arc Literary Management.
I can’t wait for all that is to come with her in my corner!

Why did Cletus Berger’s mama throw herself off the water tower, + why’s the whole town so tight-lipped about it? + could country icon Law Leylow’s illicit affair w/a teen really be THAT bad (it can)? Small towns’ long memories+ loose lips can only hold these secrets so long.

The good news is that NOTHINGBERGERS only has one thing in common with the incoming administration.

The bad news is that it’s this 👇🏻

First rejection on a full this morning for my second novel. The request was my very first query response for this manuscript! Throwing my agents guide up in case any lit agents are here yet and interested in a literary family saga ft lots of intergenerational secrets 🧡

I’m old enough to get super nervous about new socials. In any case, I’m here! I’m a short story writer and novelist, SAHM of 4 small kids living in Appalachia. Gravel cyclist married to a former semipro road cyclist, Bama football fan and alum, fluent in Arabic, former expat. Cute babies for tax 👇🏻
