Oxbow
They were supposed to leave together.
Shawnee Hughes and Ginny Lee grew up best friends in Oxbow Willows, a rural Iowa trailer park where poverty, religion, and family secrets run deep. As teenagers, they dream of escape. Then Shawn comes out, Ginny’s family closes ranks, and their friendship becomes a dangerous secret.
Years later, a devastating betrayal sends them in opposite directions.
Until a blizzard brings them face-to-face at a Wyoming travel plaza.
Some friendships endure. Some leave unfinished business.
Twenty years after Oxbow, Shawn and Ginny finally get the chance to tell each other what really happened.
Oxbow is an atmospheric novel of friendship, queer desire, faith, and the long shadow of the place we come from.

Coltswood
Professor Belinda Coltswood has made a name for herself. As the recent winner of a prestigious art prize, and the object of lingering rumors that nearly ended her career, Coltswood walks a fine line between celebrity and outcast. Though seemingly immune to both censure and accolades, Coltswood's capacity for cool indifference dissolves in a rip tide of memory when she finds herself face-to-face with a woman from her past. A woman she knew only as Wolf. While the Wolf in her office is hardly the same fierce young AIDS activist Coltswood remembers, this meeting has the potential to alter their lives in radical ways.
Published by Bywater Books in January 2026. Audiobook published in March 2026 by Tantor Media, Inc. and narrated by Abby Craden.
