Thank you so much for checking out my goodreads page! I adore readers, all readers, and I am beyond blessed to be able to have my books out in the universe. I love to interact with readers--its my favorite part of the job! My first book, The Flood Girls, was released in 2016 by Simon & Schuster/Gallery, and received starred reviews from Kirkus and Publisher's Weekly, and was chosen by Target as a book of the month. In 2019, I published and edited a compilation of memoirs of women from Montana, entitled We Leave The Flowers Where They Are, with proceeds benefiting arts advocacy programs for underserved women throughout the state. My current book, The Small Crimes Of Tiffany Templeton, is my first foray into YA, and published by Penguin/Razor ...more

It occurs to me that in having created an entire town full of characters--some fully developed, others more superficially, as is necessary with a single novel--you have opened the door to more books that zero in on different characters, possibly during different time periods. Have you considered writing an offshoot of The Flood Girls in the future?

It really depends on the success of the book. I am just as desperate as anyone to find out what happens with the softball team! Thanks for an awesome question.(less)

Great question, however! The funeral was the very first scene I imagined, and I wrote the entire novel trying to figure out why these rural women were in mourning in such high fashion! I had no idea how I was going to get there, but it was a magical journey! I'm always working on new things--currently a book about supermodels and drag queens in 1990s NYC, and dabbling in more Flood Girls! Thanks for the question!(less)
