NEW! Shoulds are for Saints: the true life adventures of Suzy Le Speed
A quirky, non-formulaic P.I. novel. Funny feminist fiction for fans of Rita Mae Brown, Linda Barnes, and Susan Isaacs. Set in 1980s Hollywood, bisexual Suzy Le Speed is a dreamy actor who nets a day job as an assistant to private investigator Bob Smith. Featuring Bianca Kitty, sexy girlfriend Brett, and a vacation dad, the dialogue is whip-smart and witty, with heart-breaking scenes and themes of domestic violence, sexual abuse, homelessness, and redemption. Poignant and poetic. Steamy with a strong female lead.

From Hope, parallel:
We keep hope next door in a parallel reality / ready to pack her bags at a moment’s notice
And Spring Cleaning:
The old life is over / begin again
Shé reminds us what is important in Caught:
So caught up in dutifuls / I forget that life is beautiful
…and No:
It’s not about the doing. / It’s about learning what you don’t have to do.
