At this time, I am preparing my current gothic horror novel Field Guide for Prairie Necromancy to query. 

​

FIELD GUIDE FOR PRAIRIE NECROMANCY is a 102,000 word gothic horror novel, set in the Montana Territory over the course of several years around 1880 with a structure similar to Conjure Women, a tone in the vein of The Wind (2019), and the emotional weight of The Return, but with feral sapphics. Its main character is a non-binary fur-trapper, with more death under her nails than life.

​

My previous novel Anhinga is also available for submission. 

​

ANHINGA is a 90,000 word Southern Gothic Horror in the vein of Crimson Peak, set in 1922 between Louisiana and North Carolina. Filled with gays, ghosts, and grisly, visceral nightmares that will have your skin crawling, Anhinga’s roots lay between the gothic—such as Carmilla—and the embellished historical—like Mexican Gothic and Bly Manor.
