It’s Here! MEMPHIS Print Edition Launches October 27, 2025
After weeks of waiting on ISBNs, fine-tuning final edits, and navigating Amazon’s publishing timelines — I’m beyond excited (and a little emotional) to finally announce that the print edition of my debut novel MEMPHIS is officially out Monday, October 27.
This story is no longer just mine — it’s ready for the world.
About my Debut Novel Memphis
MEMPHIS is a raw and hopeful journey about survival, healing, and finding your voice when it’s been silenced too long.
At its heart is Memphis Monroe, a resilient woman who escapes her narcissistic husband, fleeing across the country with her young son in search of peace and safety. But even across state lines, the past isn’t so easily left behind — especially when long-buried family secrets begin to surface.
In the spirit of inspirational fiction, domestic suspense, and survivor storytelling, MEMPHIS is a tribute to every woman who’s had to start over and rebuild from the ground up.
