Pink Clay
With champagne and caviar, twenty-five-year-old Emily glitters through society, her life a kaleidoscope of luxury afforded to her by birthright as a coffee company heiress. But beneath the Hermès, lurks a gnawing emptiness, one mirrored in the mammogram that shatters her perfect world.
Scrambling to make ends meet, twenty-seven-year-old Sarah knows struggle like the worn groves in her clay-stained sneakers. A single mother, balancing a side-hustle as a ceramic artist and a son’s laughter, she never expected the blow that would leave them both reeling—a diagnosis they can’t afford to face.
Thrown together by fate, or a shared oncology ward, their backgrounds couldn’t be more different. Yet, in the stark reality of chemo-cocktails and stolen tears, a bond blossoms. Emily and Sarah navigate the labyrinth of treatment while being 20-something and trying to find their place in the little piece of world they call life.
Will this unlikely friendship survive? Will they?
This is a story of unexpected connections, of laughter in the face of fear, and the transformative power of friendship. It is a testament to the fact that sometimes, the greatest treasures found not in material wealth, but in the shared grit and grace of coming together.
Tiny Little Pieces
On the heels of an unplanned pregnancy, a broken relationship, and a murder too close to home, Iris, an art curator at a glass-blown sculpture studio in downtown San Francisco, is consumed by stress. She finds herself faced with the fear of having to raise her baby alone and conflicted about helping her estranged fiancé cope with the murder of his mother. Triggered by the sound of breaking glass, Iris slowly succumbs to the pressure and cracks.
She finds refuge in the close relationships she holds with her mother and best friend. But things change when stress hallucinations make her see things that aren’t true. Or are they?
How will Iris find her way back to reality, and does she even want to be there?

Glow Girl
Glow Girl is a story about a young woman named Lilly. Damaged from a lifetime of being ridiculed for her weight, and obsessed with the dream of finding love, she escapes into her mind where not having friends or knowing love doesn’t matter. Until the first semester of her college career when Lilly falls for a real boy in English class.
Adam is the strong, confident, men-want-to-be-him, women-want-to-be-on-him guy. Lilly’s obsession with her dream world turns into a fixation on getting Adam to notice her. She allows herself to be bent and broken to fit the mold of a woman he demands her to be, losing herself along the way, and coming to in an unfamiliar world. A new culture takes hold of her, disguised as a misfits’ playground full of neon lights and cuddle puddles, where EDM reins and evil people lurk in plain sight. Her only protection? A coke-addicted boyfriend who’s probably too busy screwing someone else, anyway. Lilly finds herself in a deadly situation naivety can’t save her from.
Trigger Warning: Content includes imagery of drug abuse, violence, strong language, and death.

I had a hard time putting this book down. It was engaging right through till the end. I wanted to know more and see what happened next. It is a story that all too many know. The ease of getting into a ‘crew’ of people who accept you, yet lead you toward danger. The description of the places and the feelings invigorate the reader…

Glow Girl is a must read for parents, teachers, mental health professionals and young adults. It takes the reader on a real world journey into a group of teens/young adults struggling with drug addiction as a means to self medicate and escape their own existence. It’s not an “easy” read- it’s a sad reminder of how parents…
