This site is where it all began…well, sort of.  I finished the first draft of my debut novel, My Name is Erin, and My Mom’s an Addict, in January of 2018.  While I was in the process of looking for a publisher, I set up this website and began my blog posts.

My Name is Erin, and My Mom’s an Addict is a Young Adult Contemporary novel about a 15-year-old girl named Erin who is being raised by her grandparents because her mom is a heroin addict.  I chose to write about this topic because there are so many young people going through similar situations.  It’s called the opioid crisis with good reason.

When I wrote the book, I wanted to entertain young adult readers, while offering hope to the ones who are going through situations similar to Erin’s; for teens who aren’t in similar situations, I wanted to give them some insight as to what some of their peers may be going through.
