Read with care. Read with confidence.
Every book I write is LGBTQ+ young adult or new adult fiction — coming-of-age stories about found family, first love, and the belief that you matter exactly as you are. Because these stories deal honestly with real, sometimes heavy themes, I want you to know what's inside before you start reading, not partway through.
Below is a full list of content warnings for each book, kept up to date as new titles release. If you'd rather go in without knowing details in advance, that's completely your call too — this page will be here either way.
