WIPS & COMING SOON
the works-in-progress
Anticipating a 2026 publication for these WIPs (work-in-progress).
Midnight Visits
& Feather Kisses
Often, the hardest goodbye is the one you never got to say—a contemporary fiction novel reminding us of the healing power of resilience, love, and forgiveness.
Lighthouse
Murders
Was it an accident, or was it a moment fueled by jealous rage? Imagine the depths you would go to protect your name or that of someone you care about.
This contemporary fiction novel weaves a compelling narrative with thrilling mystery, inviting readers to empathize with the characters and their struggles.
Whiskey
Nightmares
When despair and memories flood your mind, how do you cope?
This contemporary short fiction comes with trigger warnings and packs an emotional punch, especially for first responders navigating the traumas of their job.
The highest compliment of my work came from “Jack Torrance,” the Southeastern Writer's Association contest judge’s feedback on my 1st-place win in 2024: “Okay, you're a jerk. This is the only entry that squeezed tears from my eyes. Your story hit close to home for me.”
Jack, I’ve never been prouder to be labeled a jerk. That’s what I want my words to do… make you feel the pain so you can heal the pain. Thank you.
It May Not Be Much,
But It's A Start!
I was published in 2007 and again in 2017.
Quite the span, I know.
I don't want to wait another ten years to publish, so expect my debut novel,
Midnight Visits & Feather Kisses, in 2026!
If you skipped the timeline, here’s a quick look!
Just the Beginning...
2026
MFA Creative Writing
SNHU
It's time to bring my writing to a new level and publish regularly... let's do this!
First up--Midnight Visits & Feather Kisses
2016-2017
BS (ENG credit from a Creative Writing class--game changer!)
Post University
Part of the class involved submitting one piece of work for possible publication. I submitted three pieces to different publishers, and one was accepted!
Oh, My Life – A Cat’s World
A short [fun piece based on my cranky cat’s perceived reverie], in another anthology, but by golly – to me it was another published work. Unfortunately, the publishing company shut its doors, and this is no longer available for purchase.
2006-2007
Gold Crown Literary Society
Writer's Conference
Sometimes it pays to step out of your cocoon. Sometimes it pays to sit next to another butterfly.
Tease Me, Please!
This short [lesbian erotica] snuck into an anthology after attending a writer’s conference—the right place at the right time! You'll find the story under "MJ Perry."
