I’m thrilled to share that GRAVE THINGS LIKE LOVE, a contemporary YA with a supernatural twist, comes out Fall of 2022 with Delacorte Press.
The funeral home Elaine lives above has been in her family for generations, and everybody assumes she’ll take it over someday—everybody, that is, except Elaine. When Xander, a newcomer obsessed with ghost hunting, conducts an “investigation” at the funeral home, it turns up a ghostly voice from the past, one Elaine is certain can give her the advice she craves about what to do with her life—and which boy deserves her heart.
I got the idea for GRAVE THINGS LIKE LOVE way back when I was a newspaper reporter and spent some time at a family owned funeral home. I'll have a more concrete release date and cover to share soon. For now, I'm just thrilled this story is finally finding its way to shelves.
“From the meet-cute to the emotional conclusion, a breezy rom-com and poignant coming of age story in perfect balance.”
—Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist and author of Goodbye from Nowhere

“Twisty and fun--and it hits all the best notes: love to hate, fierce friendships, and rogue technology. But most importantly, it shows the value in being present, living in the moment, and loving every second."
— Ronni Davis, author of When the Stars Lead to You
*
“A witty, charming, and exceptionally heartfelt look at the tricky balance between self-control and fate, and what it means when you finally give in to what your heart’s been telling you all along.”
—Meg Leder, author of Letting Go of Gravity

“A breath of fresh air.”—Kelly Coon, author of Gravemaidens
