Did the suburbs kill your soul, or steal your heart? My new book, Ghostly George, follows 17 year old Georgiana Boyce through the hazy labyrinth of a sweltering New Jersey suburb during the last week of summer, 1985. Transplanted from the Bronx into the unsupervised nihilism of suburban life, George navigates this new world of fragile friendships, reckless parties, and summer ennui from her ever detached and lonely place as an outsider. The book is available now on Amazon. Link in bio.

As the Ghostly George novel winds its way into wider release 🤞some press materials were needed and stepped in and made some really cool designs that kept the summertime pink thing going. If any artists need to collab with a talented designer on the rise, Mel is the go-to. Huge thanks to her and .dotcom for the original cover work as well.

The new book will be available on Audible and Apple for those interesting in a listening experience. Those down for the old school paperback version can still opt for Amazon or ask your local bookseller for a copy.

George moves to the suburbs of New Jersey as a heatwave rocks the town to sleep the week before Labor Day. She is drawn into a fragile pair of connections - a pack of feral, heavy metal boys who spend their days lighting fires and perfecting their disaffection - and the pretty and cold girls who offer an endpoint for her desire to be seen, and to be beautiful. A story of the lurking nihilism and ennui of 1986 suburbia. #
