Writing

At the end of 2021 I visited an astrologer who told me I would write a fiction book. I responded, “Oh no. That isn’t for me.” She disagreed. By the time I made the ten-minute drive home I decided it was the best idea I’d ever heard. 

My first novel, a historical fiction story about a surrealist painter, combines my love for women’s stories with my obsession with art history and poetry. I love the vintage gossip aspects of history. When I began researching, it was devastating to see the level of detail preserved for male surrealists versus women of their same era. Imagining their lost histories became the reason I kept writing. 

Now, I’m on the first draft of my second novel. It’s a family saga set in a New England Island town with a complex mother-daughter relationship, a nostalgic love story. I want to write novels for the rest of my life.  

In my newsletter I share frequent updates on my writing practice. Be sure to subscribe for a peek behind the curtain of how novels are made. It’s the most creative fun I’ve ever had.
