A Loose Thread
A novel that blends contemporary fantasy with mystery.
In short: The three sisters have spun millions of human fates, but they can’t know their own, which becomes a huge problem when they find themselves in mortal danger.
Inspiration for the project: The fates from various mythologies are, without question, my favorite mythological beings. I craved to read a novel where the fates were the heart of the story, not just a trio of intriguing characters, there to help the main character along. So I decided to explore the stories of these beings, imagining what it would be like to weave everyone’s destinies but not know your own.

Ravenous
A thriller that toes the line between genre and literary fiction.
In short: When a heroine is kidnapped by a very incompetent criminal a.k.a. her old friend, she is forced to face the twisted truths of her past to figure out how to survive.
Inspiration for the project: I wondered what would happen if a narcissistic main character faced an inept kidnapper. When the victim is calculating to a fault while the perpetrator is suggestible and impulsive, who really has the upper hand? This project explores some heavy themes, drawing from my own experiences.
Status: fourth draft.
