My current focus is on two novels—one complete, one underway.
The Matter of Fixing Gray
When a freak accident short circuits the memories of a presidential front runner, a young reporter is assigned to cover his experimental and controversial treatment—angering powerful figures who manipulate a polarized public to protect their empires and guard their own secrets.

The Ache of Unknowing
Strangers cross paths as they each grapple with a troublesome past. One needs unpuzzling, one stolen for safe keeping, others may be better left buried.

I'm calling these books upmarket speculative fiction. They are stand-alone but also work as part of a series called Black Boxes, a mostly modern narrative from multiple points of view exploring how memories and the secrets they harbor—of trauma, transgression, love, loss—shape and reshape who we are, driving us to acts we’d never have imagined we had in us. I hope readers feel both stories’ relevance to this moment we’re living in, where truth itself is unhinged and where the confluence of politics and media and zealous belief make living together so complicated.
