The Hollow Season

A woman returns to her childhood home after her mother's death, only to find the house remembers things she was never meant to know. Part ghost story, part elegy — a novel about inheritance, silence, and the rooms we carry inside us.

The house had not changed, and that was the problem. She had changed — had been changed, had allowed herself to be changed — and yet here it stood, patient as a held breath, waiting for her to become again the girl who had left it.

What the River Keeps

Two sisters. One secret. A summer that unravels everything they thought they understood about love, loss, and the stories we tell to survive. Set against the backdrop of a small river town slowly disappearing beneath floodwater.

The river does not remember the stones it has carried. Only the shape it has worn into them. Mara understood this about her sister long before she understood it about herself.

— What the River Keeps, p. 47
