this week I signed my first publishing contract. Barring any number of entirely-plausible world-ending events, The Killing Yards will hit store shelves in September 2026. It’s about a nightclub owner navigating his criminal past and a changing New York circa 1994. It’s gritty and dark and pulls from the city’s history and my own experiences in the EDM scene (that’s electronic dance music, nerd). I pitched it as east coast James Ellroy, and a publishing house agreed.
