MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.
Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.
It comes out in May.

Some previews from ARMOR, my solo show appearing at Stranger Factory alongside @leslielevings.bsky.social's solo show INSIDES.
(I did joke about naming my show OUTSIDES but couldn't go through with it.)
