Currently, I am working on two novels.
A Certain Slant of Light
As a young teen, Kellyn survived sex trafficking. For years she’s been haunted by what she had to do to survive and the memories of the other girls who weren’t as lucky. Now she’s determined to make a new life for herself, one where no one else–including the man she’s in love with–knows the truth. Only two people stand in her way. One is long dead. The other has his own agenda–and this time, she might not survive.
The Color of Bones
Anna Kate, a police officer, is indicted in the shooting of an unarmed man. Her biracial teenage daughter Caddy is torn. Despite their estrangement, she loves her mother. Anna Kate’s lied before, though, and she’s kept important secrets from her only child. Just recently Caddy discovered that her late father was African-American . . . just like her mother’s unarmed victim. Is it a coincidence?
Her mother is also torn. She’s uncertain exactly what happened the night she shot her former street informant, but she knows there was a witness who fled the scene. Police investigators haven’t found the young man, but are they even trying?
A growing protest to the shooting throws their lives further into turmoil. As Anna Kate ruthlessly seeks the missing witness among the protesters, Caddy is equally determined to protect one of them.
