Just for fun. Only dress up. Nothing serious about a trip to Bergdorf Goodman for Jenny. Nothing ominous at all about price tags with all those zeroes and a man with a platinum Amex. Just for laughs. Just a “what if?” Right? A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
Without so much as a by-your-leave, Gregory’s called Jenny his girlfriend to a bookstore clerk with ridiculous facial hair. She’s got… thoughts. So does he, but they’re more about beer than Richard II. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
Holy hell, I had this! After a far-too-intimate dinner on the 4th of July, Jenny and her former seminar leader—“not my professor!”—walk back to her East Village sublet. Should she invite him up? Probably not. Definitely not. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
Vibes! As a self-absorbed man of immense privilege, Gregory is blind to his blessings. Wealth? Check. Brains? Check. Looks? Hella check. But for all Jenny’s youth, she sees every facet of his unchecked entitlement. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”

Ah, mud season. A glorious time of the year in northern New England. Lainey’s stuck in more than just physical gloop, though, and there’s no better place for her to seek clarity than Carter’s Woods. A snip from “This Ends Now” which is with my betas right now!

Waiting for a breakfast sandwich, Jenny wonders: is she more than just a convenient body for Gregory this summer? She must be, if his texts are to be believed. By summer’s end, she’s going to wish she’d just been convenient. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
“Just for fun,” Gregory says when he takes Jenny to Bergdorf Goodman. “Only dress-up,” she insists. But when a sales assistant spins a fairytale about a dress, Jenny’s tempted to accept his offer of making fantasy a reality. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
It’s not that she’d rather hang with Gregory than her roommate Hallie—because Jenny definitely doesn’t. But she’s in NYC to burst from her chrysalis, and figures the soundtrack to metamorphosis is more likely Haydn than hipster. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
In this snip from “This Ends Now,” Lainey reflects on the hellscape that was dating in her late 30s in Los Angeles, before future husband Scott barged into her life. NOT THAT THE AUTHOR KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THIS HELLSCAPE AND IS THANKFUL FOR ESCAPING IT. (Ahem.)

On one of those blistering summer Sundays in NYC when you feel like your toenails are sweating, cooling off at the Met is good idea. It would be a better idea if Gregory could stop being a condescending prick for an hour. A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”
Sometimes it’s size, and sometimes it’s perspective. Jenny and Gregory are discussing Shelley’s “Mont Blanc,” but is that really all they’re talking about? As he likes to tell his students, “There’s no text without subtext.” A snip from my #WIP “Surface Tension.”

Hoo boy, reaching into the vaults for this synonym. Somewhere out there on the interwebs lurks the 500k fake blog of a character I created with my writing buddy @kirkrafferty.com for the purposes of forum mischief-making. This was part of her entry for 1/10/20.

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.
