Newsletter

My newsletter, Things I Meant to Tell You, wiggles it way into inboxes when inspiration strikes. I write about religious trauma, complicated family dynamics, and the slow work of blooming late and figuring out who you are long after everyone seems to have it all figured out.


Books in Progress

Bitter: A Collective Memoir. Completed manuscript. Twenty-three women who left Conservative Laestadianism, in their own words, alongside the archival record of a church split that divided families across three countries. Oral history and collective biography. Seeking representation.

Ten Thousand Dollars: A Memoir of Tulsa, Reinvention, and the Stories We Don't Tell. In progress. In 2021 I moved to Tulsa on a program funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, arriving in time for the centennial of the Race Massacre.
