AXE*OF KINDNESS
As an writer, my work is the kind of witty, kick-in-the-head which topples the way history is typically told.

TAKING BACK AUGUST
A film star clinging to her dying career is suddenly confronted by her biggest fear… her son.
As August auditions for the role of Hamlet, life begins to imitate art when her estranged son Grayson arrives unannounced at her coastal estate.
Forced to confront past guilt and present fears concerning her role as a mother, August stands on the precipice of what it means “to be or not to be” as a woman who wants it all.
