Night Reading, forthcoming 2025

In a sun-baked Arizona landscape, where pasts and futures collide, two unusual women forge a connection that defies time. Night Reading is a spellbound tale of love, ambition, and the dreams that shape our lives. 

Rosa, a forward-thinking educator in the early 1900s, and Jane, an architect turned politician a century later, find themselves inexplicably linked through their shared dreamscapes. As they navigate the complexities of their own eras – from the copper mines of Morenci to the campaign trails of Tucson – they discover a way to escape the boundaries of time and find each other again, and again. But the lines between dream and reality begin to blur. With their demanding waking lives, Rosa and Jane confront the question: Can dreams survive in the light of day?

Spanning generations and weaving in Arizona’s history and extraordinary desert landscape, Night Reading is a mesmerizing exploration of the power of connection, the weight of choice, and the enduring impact of our deepest desires. The story will linger long after you close the cover, leaving you to wonder about the dreams that shape your world – and the ones you leave behind. Lose yourself in the dreams that unfold under Tucson’s inky dark skies.
