Big news! I’d love your support on this one.


Hi everyone,

I am so excited (and, I’ll admit, a little nervous!) to share that the official launch post for my ebook, When Memories Become Nightmares, is finally live!

This collection has been a true labor of love for me, exploring the ghosts we carry and the memories that refuse to let go. Now that it’s out in the world, I would love your help to give it a little boost.

Could you do me a quick favor?

I’ve just posted the official announcement on social media. If you could take ten seconds to click the link below and "Like" the post, it would mean the world to me. (Engaging with the post helps the algorithm show it to more people!)

It’s finally here.


It is Finally Here.


My first ebook, When Memories Become Nightmares is an anthology of short stories exploring the echoes of the past and the prison it can be.
