About the Books
First Time Ever
First Time Ever is a tender, deeply human story about grief, reinvention, and the quiet bravery it takes to begin again. Centered on Diana, a woman learning how to exist after the loss of her husband, the novel captures the small, unglamorous moments that make up healing—community centers, awkward conversations, shared meals, music, and unexpected connections.
Rather than offering easy answers, the book honors the uneven rhythm of real life after loss. It explores how identity shifts when the roles we once held disappear, and how connection can return in subtle, surprising ways. Honest, warm, and often quietly funny, First Time Ever is a story about choosing to stay open even when it would be easier to close off.
This is a book for readers who appreciate emotional realism, character-driven storytelling, and the beauty of ordinary moments that change everything.

Nail & Tooth
Nail & Tooth is a dark, unsettling novel that blends psychological suspense, moral tension, and real-world horror. What begins as a discovery rooted in history and chance slowly unravels into a chilling examination of hidden evil, collective silence, and the cost of survival.
Set against the backdrop of the American South, the story follows Rhi and those around her as wealth, secrecy, and power expose the fractures beneath familiar faces. As buried truths surface—both literal and emotional—the novel confronts how easily evil can disguise itself as generosity, community, and kindness.
Tense, atmospheric, and unflinching, Nail & Tooth asks difficult questions: Who pays the price when darkness goes unnoticed? And what responsibility do survivors carry once they know the truth?
