New Release!

My newest YA novel from Featherweight Press came out last week! In Dolphins in the Mud, Chris Talberman has spent six months in his new home in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, feeling left out and isolated. When his family moved, he left behind his boyfriend and friends. Thanks to his mother's unwillingness to let their new neighbors meet Chris's autistic younger sister Cece, Chris and his family have barely met anyone in Wellfleet. Chris knows kids at school, but isn't able to hang out with them because his mother relies on him to help out with Cece while she takes off to "run errands."

When a pod of dolphins strands in the cove outside Chris's house, Cece takes off to see them, and Chris has to chase her. Another teen guy helps him out, and that's how Chris meets Noah Silver, the first potential friend he's had in Wellfleet. And someone he thinks might have potential to be more.

Then Chris's life is turned upside-down. His mother leaves, and Chris learns that her "errands" were actually an affair. She's tired of caring for Cece, and she's done with the family. Chris's workaholic father turns to Chris to help with Cece, and Chris has no one to lean on except Noah.

But Noah has problems of his own, ones that almost lead to tragedy.

You can find Dolphins in the Mud on the Featherweight Press website.
