My new novel, DEATH VALLEY (out October 24, 2023) is a comedic odyssey through the desert of grief–and an exploration of the rich oases we may discover in that arid landscape.
In this desert, you’ll encounter: a magic cactus, talking rocks, a non-consensual encounter with a snake, teen rabbits engaged in philosophical discourse, an underground river, a psychic medium who channels Carmela Soprano, and the real hero of the novel: a Grab ‘n Go breakfast from the Best Western.
DEATH VALLEY asks questions about how to want what we already have, how to allow a loved one to die in their own way, and why at times it’s easier to have a relationship with the dead than with the living.
