To reckon and imagine. To bear witness and mobilize language for battle. I write for the people who survive in a world that would much rather we did not.

In the Works
My forthcoming novel, Whisper Park, is a sweeping, intergenerational story set in mid-century Texas that follows the powerful Williams family as they navigate grief, legacy, and the quiet rebellions that shape a life.
After the lynching of Walter Sumter, St. Joseph III- heir to the family’s vast estate- must confront his heart break, the weight of his lineage, and a generational secret that reshapes everything he believes about home.
Blending a classic Southern Gothic with an intimate queer Black lovestory, the novel weaves together memory, inheritance, and the enduring force of a love that refuses to be buried.
I am welcoming conversations with agents and editors as the manuscript continues develop.
I miss the Amen Corner
I miss the feeling of being on the altar; in the church where I first saw the light, but because they’ve freed me: my being is now the altar.
