I am currently querying the book club fiction, BABY NEEDLES, complete at 86,000 words. When her wife becomes pregnant with the baby she wanted to carry, Alice begins a series of mysterious injections that promise to unlock her body’s potential, transforming her from a self-sabotaging mess into the partner and mother she’s always wanted to be. But when the final treatment removes Alice’s ability to feel love, she must find a way back to herself before her wife gives birth and she walks away from her family without a second thought.It's a psychological suspense told by an obsessive, beachy, intermittently plus-size New Jersey lesbian. It combines the feminist satire of The Substance with the comedic, hallucinatory logic of Sky Daddy by Kate Folk, perfect for readers who enjoyed Clever Little Thing by Helena Echlin.Its unhinged narrator grapples with hunger and biological inheritance, self-destruction disguised as self-improvement, and how unabashedly complicated it is to live inside a body.I studied in the MFA program at the New School, majored in Creative Writing at Bard College, and my work has appeared in the Gettysburg Review.EMAIL ME: [email protected]
