Welcome

I’m thrilled to welcome you to my online home, a space where I share my journey as a writer and the stories that have shaped me. Writing has always been a way for me to explore the complexities of identity, belonging, and the moments that define us. My debut novel, When The Road Narrows, is the first in The Road Series, a collection of coming-of-age stories told through an LGBTQ+ lens.

Set against the backdrop of 1980s conservatism and the emerging AIDS crisis, When The Road Narrows follows Nick as he wrestles with the pull of his traditional Catholic upbringing and the truth of his own identity. It’s a story of self-discovery, love, and resilience—one that I hope resonates with those who have ever felt caught between expectation and authenticity.

Here, you’ll find updates about my work, insights into my creative process, and news on what’s next. Whether you’re a longtime reader or just discovering my writing, I’m grateful to have you along for the journey. Feel free to explore, connect, and be part of the conversation—because every road we travel is richer when shared.
