I’m excited to share that Shadow, my newest short story, is currently moving through its final proofreading and sensitivity-reading stages.
This is a quieter, darker story centered on isolation, hidden struggles, relationships, and the things people sometimes fail to notice in those closest to them. I’ve worked carefully to make sure the story remains emotionally honest, respectful, and grounded without giving away where it leads.
Shadow is currently slated for a mid-September 2026 release.
More details, including the official release date and where the story will be available, will be announced as publication gets closer.
