Below are my published children’s books—available now in paperback and digital formats—as well as two literary works currently in progress. All of them reflect the heart of my writing: memory, survival, identity, and the quiet ways truth insists on being heard.

All are published under my author imprint, White Feather Tales, and also available in iBook format via Apple Books. My fourth children’s book,
Coming Soon: Nicholas
Nicholas is fully edited and illustrated and will be available soon. The first book in a series, it tells the story of a little Deaf boy’s first day of school, his worries, his bravery, and the joyful discovery that he belongs. Inspired by one of the Deaf children I had the privilege to teach, this book celebrates resilience, communication, and the quiet strength of children who navigate the world in their own way.
If you purchase Nicholas through Amazon, I would deeply appreciate a review. It’s one of the most important ways readers can help a self-published author gain visibility.

The Canister Maker’s Daughter
A novel inspired by personal history
The Canister Maker’s Daughter is a literary novel that unearths a devastating family secret hidden for decades—one that rewrites not only the author’s personal history but also her place in the moral landscape of the 20th century. Blending psychological inquiry, historical detective work, and poetic memory, the narrative follows Juliana, a Hungarian-born refugee who escapes Communist Budapest with her parents in 1956, only to grow up in the shadow of a brilliant, enigmatic and increasingly terrifying father.
For years, Juliana struggles to make sense of the emotional chaos in her family—her mother’s alcoholism, her own PTSD and crippling anxiety, and her father’s obsessive secrecy. After her father’s death, Juliana inherits a locked wooden box whose contents challenge everything she believed about her family. As scattered clues draw her deeper into the past, she is forced to confront the possibility that history has been rewritten within her own home.
The search for the truth leads Juliana toward a possibility so devastating it threatens not only her understanding of her father, but of herself.

Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits
A memoir of spiritual coercion and survival
Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits is a literary memoir of spiritual manipulation, gendered power, and the search for self after surrendering it all. Set against the backdrop of 1980s recovery culture, it tells the true story of how, grieving the death of both parents, I was drawn into what appeared to be a 12-Step support group that soon revealed itself to be something far more insidious.
Promising healing through obedience, the group isolated me from the people who loved me, dismantled my sense of self, and concealed exploitation beneath the language of spiritual growth. Bound by secrecy, shame, and a desperate need to belong, I became trapped in a system designed to erase me.
Over time, the cracks began to show. Fueled by memory, therapy, and the refusal to stay silent, I unraveled the group’s true nature and reclaimed my voice—one word at a time.
Twisted Steps, Broken Spirits is a deeply personal examination of coercive control and the wrenching journey back to myself through untangling the beliefs, the shame, and the false identity I had been brainwashed to accept.
