Hearts of Glass isn’t just about the ’80s — it’s about what it costs to be different, and what it means to be loved anyway.

Jenny’s othered. Her crime? She's profoundly deaf.

And she fights to be seen as a strong woman.

This one’s for anyone who ever had to survive just by being themselves. 💜
What song got you through your toughest teenage days? For Cassie in Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World, it’s probably Blondie’s “One Way or Another”. For me, it was "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper. I’m curious to hear yours! #MusicMemory #80s
I’m 55 today.
Older than the Walkman. Still rewinding stories.
Some days I still feel like a kid, and others I feel every crack in my heart of glass.
Still loving. Still loud. Still here.

Hearing my novel as an audiobook was surreal, emotional and amazing. I got goosebumps, laughter, and a few tears. Huge thanks to our narrator @jenlanhamvo for making my characters’ voices unforgettable. To preorder or look at the countdown thingy, hit the link

One beautiful surprise of this journey is seeing younger readers (Millennials and Gen Z) connect with my very Gen X story. It turns out the themes in Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World are universal and timeless. It reminds me that stories can bridge generations in the best way.
A line from Hearts of Glass that gave me chills when @jlvoice.com says it in the upcoming audiobook!

👉 "You didn't fall apart. You stood up to him. I'm proud of you."

(If you’ve ever felt a bit fragile yourself, this one’s for you.)
Audiobook drops July 25th!

A reader said my book was “like opening a time capsule of my own memories.” 🥹💕
That made my day. If you’ve read Hearts of Glass Living in the Real World, I’d be so grateful for a quick review on Amazon or Goodreads. Thank you!
Meet Ford!
Once a child model, now a guarded teen trying to rebuild after trauma. Ford is quiet, observant, kind, and fighting to trust again.

In Hearts of Glass Living IRL, his story is raw, real, and unforgettable. And in the upcoming audiobook,
@jlvoice.com
voices him with haunting precision.
