    About this ebook

    It’s been years since Mitch has seen any of his family, but when his estranged father dies he finds himself back at a home he swore he’d never visit again, cleaning out pieces of a past he’d rather forget with three sisters he barely knows.

    As they empty the rooms of their dead father's home, Mitch begins to realize that his sisters may not be exactly the same as how he chose to remember them - and he begins to wonder if his efforts to leave his memories behind has caused him to look at himself through the same distorted lens.

    This debut novella looks at the things we don't realize we lose when we move on, and the things we can find again when we let go.

      Lies I Tell My Father

      Feb 10, 2024

      “How’s your job at the newspaper?” my father asks me. He is sitting on a couch, a plush throw blanket spread across his legs. “The newspaper’s fine,” I lie. I lie because it is simple. I lie because it is quick. I lie because it is easier than trying

      The rise and fall of fur, sunlight rippling across his perfectly groomed coat – it’s enchanting, hard to look away. For 30 minutes, she’s watched the cat sleeping on three blankets, folded and piled on top of one another. She’s cold, but can’t bring
