Pre-Order The Ash Family

My first novel, which I've been working on for nearly as long as I've had this blog, will come out on April 9th, 2019. Many experiences I've posted about here have ended up in the book, which is about an off-the-grid homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. 

(The tagline is: "When a young woman leaves her family—and the civilized world—to join an off-the-grid community headed by an enigmatic leader, she discovers that belonging comes with a deadly cost.")

You can order it on Amazon here or IndieBound here.

Also I just joined Goodreads, you can follow me here.

Though the social media I update most often is my Instagram.

As we turn the corner into 2019, I am feeling very grateful to all of you who have read my blog and reached out to me over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you. <3
