I’m the author of CLEAN AIR, a cli-fi domestic thriller, which came out in February 2022. I also wrote NAAMAH, a queer retelling of Noah’s ark, which came out in 2019 and won the National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction and the Bisexual Book Award for Fiction.

My poetry books include MR. WEST, an unauthorized lyric biography of Kanye West, LET’S NOT LIVE ON EARTH, and (the forthcoming) IN SPRINGTIME. My first and only chapbook is NAMED AFTER DEATH and is accompanied by an activity book (both are free to download).

In 2019, I moved to the UK, launched my first novel, lost my mother to pancreatic cancer, and asked my now-ex-husband to move out. I will be sharing thoughts on writing, divorce, and living abroad.
