WHERE WE LAY is a literary novel about intimacy, shame, memory and the relationships that shape who we become.

As an unspoken connection deepens, both are forced to confront desire, secrecy and the consequences of a relationship that exists outside the boundaries society is willing to accept.
A haunting exploration of love, guilt and the fragile complexity of human connection.
A new novel exploring grief, memory, addiction and the long shadow of intimacy.
