For Rosie
A small-town psychological thriller about grief, guilt, and the secrets we keep.
Years ago, Rosie died—and Winona has never forgiven herself for surviving.
Now a wife and a woman barely holding it together, Winona still sees her best friend’s face in every reflection. When new evidence surfaces in the cold case that destroyed their town, she’s forced to confront everything she’s tried to forget: the night of the murder, her fractured family, and the weight of her guilt.
But as more bodies turn up along the river and secrets twist tighter around her marriage, Winona begins to question her own memories—and whether Rosie’s killer was ever caught at all.
Dark, intimate, and emotionally devastating, For Rosie is a grief-soaked psychological thriller about trauma, obsession, and the thin line between love and guilt.

I grew up in Moore, Oklahoma, where a massive tornado swept down the plains and destroyed my childhood home. I've been writing dark and twisty stories ever since. I love weaving tales where nothing is as it seems, and darkness lurks just below the surface. I have held various job titles over the years, ranging from a self-defense instructor to a funeral director’s apprentice, both of which inform my writing to this day. And, no, unfortunately I wasn’t named after the film by famed master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, but sometimes I tell people I was anyway. It’s just too good of a coincidence to pass up.
