(Final for Today🎉) TELL ME THREE THINGS × ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES

YA Contemporary | Dual POV | Inspired by my own survival of a dog attack in 2020

A girl is dragged into the street during a violent dog attack. A boy is living in the aftermath of his brother’s death. When a poetry assignment forces them to put their pain into words, IT COMES IN WAVES becomes a quiet YA novel about trauma, grief, and the fragile math of who lives, who heals, and who sees you.

All the time. It’s why it’s taken me so long over the last several years to finish anything. I actually have another idea for a book about invisible illnesses. I write blurbs here and there. Random inner monologues. One day I’ll finish it. Don’t give up. Step by step, day by day, you’ll finish.

Checking in on my fellow #amquerying writers today.
How is everyone doing this week?

Inbox refreshing?
Trying not to spiral?
Celebrating small wins?
Sitting in the quiet?

Wherever you are in it, I see you. This part is brave.
