Forthcoming novel

Avelmere Shores remembers everything—storms, secrets, and the people it couldn’t save.

Its grief seeps into the fog and tide pools, and Liona has always felt it. She reads the town’s moods in the wind, its warnings in the hush before rain. Others call it intuition. Avelmere knows it is something older and buried.

When a woman disappears, Liona’s sense of it deepens, tugging her toward meanings she can’t fully grasp. Her son, Abel—an EMT carrying his own unspoken trauma—becomes entangled in suspicion as the search deepens. Meanwhile, a domestic-violence case pulls Liona across boundaries she once vowed to keep, drawing her closer to danger than she realizes.

Now, with a storm gathering offshore and the coastline growing restless, mother and son are pulled toward a reckoning. One that will test everything they believe about the past, about themselves, and about the unseen currents that bind them to the town’s memory.

Avelmere—watching with centuries of secrets—knows that every truth eventually rises, like a tide breaking through.
