Projects We’re Working On

Q: So, what’s new? Are there any projects you’re excited about right now?
A: Always! I tend to work on more than one idea at once, which means there’s usually something almost ready to meet the world.

Q: Okay, tell us - what’s the first one?
A: My upcoming book Highly Scientific Record is almost here.
It follows a sixteen-year-old who never meant to start a journal… but his counselor suggested it, so he decided to treat it like an “experiment.”
What starts out as scribbles and notes slowly becomes a record of awkward moments, strange days, disasters, and unexpected growth.
It’s not a hero story and it’s not a tragedy - it’s just life, written the way teens actually experience it.

Q: That sounds fun - but you don’t only write for teens, right?
A: Right. I love bouncing between genres.
Another book I’m working on is Where Curtains Fall, which leans into mystery and atmosphere. It follows a detective drawn back into an old theater with a past that refuses to stay quiet. Shadows, secrets, and unfinished stories - it’s darker, more haunting, and full of that slow-burn suspense I love writing.

Q: Two totally different vibes - how do you balance that?
A: Honestly, switching projects keeps me stay creative.
When one story gets heavy, I step into something lighter. When another feels quiet, I lean into something mysterious. Each project teaches me something different about storytelling.

Q: What do you hope readers feel when they pick up your books?
A: I hope they feel like they’ve stepped into a world they recognize - whether it’s a high school hallway or an abandoned theater - and find something that lingers after they finish. Not perfection. Not “big speeches.” Just stories that feel honest and human.

Q: And what’s next after these?
A: More writing, more revising, and probably more wandering ideas that turn into unexpected books. I love the process - and I’m grateful I get to share it.
