Writertorium Manuscript Inventory

Here's what I'm brewing up in the Writertorium right now...



Two Adult Psychological Suspense novels: 

One about four friends who reunite in the woods & one goes missing because friendship is complicated...& sometimes deadly!

Status: Completed & queried (fingers crossed!)

One about the mysterious (& weird) disappearance of my neighbor (& her dog).

Status: Completed & queried (fingers crossed!)


One YA Horror novel:

A feminist retelling of the Bloody Mary urban legend on a college campus. Think Promising Young Woman meets Candyman (2021). 

Status: Completed & revising. 


One YA Speculative Mystery-Romance novel:

A magical mystery-sapphic romance about three teen sister witches that find themselves tangled up in a centuries-old curse. Full pitch below. 

The Westerly sisters are generational witches living in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Their magic has been passed down and kept secret on their mother's side since before the Salem Witch Trials. But when their beloved mother dies under suspicious circumstances the magic that has been the roots of their family tree for centuries begins to wilt. Until a new family moves into town and another mysterious death triggers an ancient curse that sets the sisters on a star-crossed collision course with enemies they didn't even know they had. They must revive their magic and find a way to break the curse before they join the list of dead witches in Ipswich.  

Status: In progress

A New Chapter




 A new chapter has begun for this writer. This summer I started Seton Hill University's Writing Popular Fiction MFA program, and I've already made friends, met mentors & REAL witches! 

Yeah, this is definitely where I parked my car. It just took me a long time to find my keys. 

Now I'm off to write about witches, murder, curses & star-crossed Sapphic lovers.
