Your Lonely Nights Are Over (2023)
Adam Sass
"Suspenseful, heartfelt, and hilarious in equal measure, YOUR LONELY NIGHTS ARE OVER is a whip-smart queer YA thriller that manages to be both a note perfect window into contemporary teen culture and a loving homage to the golden age of slasher horror."
A Dreadful Splendour (2022)
B R Myers
"Thrilling, atmospheric and propulsive, with healthy doses of heart and humor thrown in for good measure, A Dreadful Splendor is a cleverly crafted mystery with an irrepressible heroine you won't soon forget. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun reading a book!"
All That's Left in the World (2022)
Erik J Brown
"A timeless love story that could not be more appropriate for this moment, All That's Left in the World is a thrilling, heartfelt, and beautifully written debut."
