I've been dreaming of making this announcement for so long that I'm still in disbelief that I get to post this. I’m beyond thrilled to share that my memoir CAMOUFLAGE: How I Emerged from the Shadows of a Military Marriage will be out in the world in fall 2025!
Every year my Christmas gift to my dad is a Shutterfly calendar filled with family photos. Designing it is a wonderful reflection of all the fun things we did in the past year. So it's a gift for me too. (Plus, I buy one for my house when calendars go on sale after Christmas.)

I'll never get tired of seeing my book on a shelf. This bookshelf is in Bound Books, an indie bookstore in Virginia Beach, surrounded by a couple of other authors I know and adore. 📚

12 years ago I left a courtroom with a different marital status + a last name I hadn't used in 13 years. I emailed an editor + an hour later I announced my divorce in The New York Times. I'm thankful every day for my divorce + the path to happiness it created.

Another author event in the books! Thank you to The Muse for hosting me, to Rebekah Sanderlin for the great conversation and to Sloanan’s Bakery Box for these cake pops that were so adorable I almost couldn’t eat them. What a dream to see readers holding my book in their hands!
