Reader Care & Support

Some of my stories explore difficult themes, including addiction, recovery, trauma, PTSD, mental health, sexual assault, abusive relationships, and healing after harm.

I write these topics with care, but I also know they can feel personal, heavy, or unexpectedly close to home. Please take care of yourself while reading. Step away, skip a scene, put the book down, or reach out to someone you trust if you need to.

Your wellbeing matters more than finishing a chapter.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent medical support, please call emergency services in your area.
