My mom and me when I was graduating from the Columbia MFA program in Fiction. I’d published a few short stories and landed an agent on the basis of them but had no idea if I would ever be able to write a novel. My mom was 100% behind me. Happy Mother’s Day!

The three most beautiful letters any writer can write: “END” 🥲 So. Happy. I am still working hard on my Harvard murder mystery novel and that’s such a blast as well, coming soon!
