NEW BOOK: Welcome to Seagull Street Releases May 24, 2025
I’m thrilled to officially announce that my debut novel, Welcome to Seagull Street: That Summer in Ocean City, Maryland, will be released on May 24, 2025!
This story has been a labor of love—and more than a few seagull sightings—and I can’t wait for you to meet Ray, Olivia, Evan, and the unforgettable summer that changes everything.
Set in the heart of Ocean City, Maryland, Welcome to Seagull Street is a slice-of-life novel that’s part romance, part mystery, and 100% a love letter to fresh starts, late-summer sunsets, and unexpected friendships.
