A little more information about my WIP! As I work on my final revisions before querying COUNTY CRUSH, I am going to start introducing it here! COUNTY CRUSH is a YA Urban Fantasy, showing where Greek mythology and Midwest folklore intersect.

From my YA Fantasy, COUNTY CRUSH. Elaine’s family has a weird obsession with the county fair. What happens when the rules change?

“The summer has more to offer than our little county fair, and for once, we want to do other things than play games and watch you study. Does that make sense?”

Raised in a devout Catholic home, Rachel breaks one of the Church’s most unforgivable rules and spends her life trying to make peace with it. THE SACRAMENTS is a literary story of faith, forgiveness, and what endures after shame.

Rachel’s faith fractures under the weight of her family’s secrets. Spanning 1960s-80s, THE SACRAMENTS explores trauma, redemption, and the quiet grace that remains when belief fades.

Day #2 of THE SACRAMENTS:

I love reading about faith. Two great examples are PORTRAIT and GILEAD. For Joyce, Catholicism was an inescapable shadow. For Robinson, faith is luminous and sustaining. In THE SACRAMENTS, Rachel Thomas lives at that same intersection: between ritual and rupture.
