I’m an award-winning author of two novels, including Banyan Moon, the July 2023 Read with Jenna title and Barnes & Noble Discover Pick, and The Seekers of Deer Creek, an Amazon Editor’s pick featured in Real Simple, Harper’s Bazaar, and others. My work has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, WIRED, Elle, Southern Living, and many other publications. I hold my MFA in creative writing from The Ohio State University and now live in central Ohio with my family, where I teach and write.

Both h’s in my name are silent.
