I’m absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news with you all—I’ve officially signed a contract with my agent to sell my novella, The House! This is a huge step for me, and I couldn’t be happier about this new chapter in my writing journey.

For those of you who have been following my work or are fans of paranormal horror and gothic fiction, The House is a story I’m incredibly proud of. It’s an atmospheric and emotional tale, my twist on the traditional haunted house story, and I can’t wait for you to experience it.

Here’s a quick, spoiler-free summary of The House:

The novella follows Bethany, who unexpectedly dies just as she and her pregnant wife, Clara, move into a dilapidated flat in a foreboding house called “The Willows”, owned by the powerful Murdoch family. Bethany’s tragic death forces her to confront a new reality in a ghostly version of The Willows, trapped in a kind of purgatory where memories and emotions manifest as tangible forms. As Bethany grapples with her new existence, she meets other lost souls. Each spirit harbors their own traumas, but there’s an overwhelming sense that something darker ties them all together. Bethany’s quest for peace leads her to uncover a sinister force linked to her death. Along the way, she must fight not only for her own soul but to save Clara and their unborn child from the same malevolent force that took her life.

The story blends gothic horror with a deeply human narrative of love, sacrifice, and resilience. It’s a chilling exploration of the bonds that transcend death, and the lengths we go to for those we love.

I’m beyond excited to have signed with my agent, and I’m hopeful that we’ll have more good news to share soon. Thank you all for your ongoing support—this wouldn’t be possible without you, and I can’t wait for you to read The House when it’s finally out.

Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being a part of this with me!
